Marinus Link has the opportunity to create positive change in the community. Through our grants, partnerships and sponsorships, we’re investing in the communities where Marinus Link is proposed in Tasmania and Victoria.
We’re committed to fostering positive connections, supporting growth and building stronger, more resilient communities in the areas we operate.
We have established three (3) programs:
Community Grants Program
Marinus Link’s Community Grants Program supports community initiatives in areas along the proposed project alignment in Victoria and in North West Tasmania. These include communities within Latrobe City, South Gippsland, Burnie City and Central Coast local government areas.
The Community Grants Program is open for registered, not-for-profit organisations, who demonstrate that their project/initiative aligns to Marinus Link’s Sustainability Framework.

Sponsorship Program
Marinus Link has created the Sponsorship Program to aid organisations, events and activities through the provision of financial support.
The Sponsorship Program is open for registered, not-for-profit organisations along the project alignment in Victoria and North West Tasmania. These include communities within the Latrobe City, South Gippsland, Burnie City and Central Coast local government areas.

Marinus Link and Burnie City Council Partnership Program
Marinus Link has committed $40,000 a year over 10 years to the Burnie City Council (BCC) to deliver initiatives in the Burnie municipality.
Working together, the Burnie City Council and Marinus Link developed the Community Partnership Program (the Program). Through the Program, two successful applicants will receive $20,000 each year over three years, that’s $60,000 in total, to run a project/initiative in the Burnie area.
The Program commenced in 2023 and is managed by the Burnie City Council. Applications for the 2023 round have now closed. Successful applicants will be announced in early 2024.
