Halls Gap Botanic Gardens is set to benefit from a new off-grid solar-power system, including solar panels, an inverter and battery.
Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change Lily D’Ambrosio toured the gardens to hear about plans for the system to provide power to the visitor shelter, volunteers office and workshop.
Grampians Community Power Hub, one of seven hubs across the state, is overseeing the project.
Each hub is supporting community groups to develop renewable-energy projects by providing energy audits, feasibility testing, system specifications and implementation funding options.
