Essential as sport is to our local communities.
Our community partnerships
Essential as sport is to our local communities.
Sport runs deeps in the communities we serve, and we’re proud to back it.
We maintain the poles and wires that power homes and businesses across inner-city streets and regional and rural towns. That reach places us at the heart of hundreds of communities where sport is essential to everyday life.
It’s where friends and neighbours catch up, families gather, tourists visit, and local pride is built. Sport is a social hub and shared experience, and an important contributor to the local economy.
That’s why we’re proud to partner with iconic sporting events and clubs, because in the communities we live and work, sport is essential as staying connected.
