Local governments are responding to new State Government guidelines on community benefits for hosting renewable energy infrastructure. The Shire of Dandaragan, along with Victoria Plains, Narrogin, and West Arthur, will take part in a pilot program that recommends monetary contributions based on energy output, with specific amounts set for wind and solar projects. While the guidelines are not legally binding, local leaders hope they will lead to future legislation and address community needs, particularly for funding recreational facilities.
