Delta prides itself on being a socially responsible organisation that “gives back” to communities near their power station operations.

Through sponsorship and donations we invest in many community activities, programs, services and facilities, often in partnership with Central Coast and Lake Macquarie Councils. Each year a community relations plan is prepared which identifies issues emerging in our local community and actions that will enhance the quality of life of those who live in the area.

Delta Electricity help improve local parks for families and people with disabilities and sponsor community events such as Australia Day. Also provide support for Landcare and other environmental work and help many local organisations including Tidy Towns, the Country Women's Association, the Cancer Council, surf clubs, playgroups and local high schools.

Applications for sponsorship and donations can be submitted under the following categories:

• Education 
• Community & Health
