Village of
wind
Project description:
The aim of the project is
to create a community wind farm. It will provide
electricity for local homes, and we will sell
spare electricity in order to raise money for other
community projects.
Benefits of the project
1 It will provide green electricity for the village (and
help fight global warming).
2 It will turn an area of wasteland into a modern
wind farm.
3 It will make money for the community by selling
electricity to the country. This money could fund
other community projects e.g. a youth club.
Budget
(including annual running cost)
:
Total cost:
NZ $32,000
Cost breakdown
Clearance of wasteland:
NZ $20,000
Installation of ten wind turbines:

Note: There will be no annual running costs because
the wind farm will make money that will pay for
maintenance and management.
Super Streets
Project description:

to clean the streets of litter and to reduce crime.
Members of the local community will form ‘Street
Teams’, which will be responsible for cleaning
up litter. CCTV will reduce anti-social/criminal

the local area.

community closer together.

streets safer.

businesses to the area.
