Horsham Rural City Council allocated funding via the Commonwealth Government's Local Roads and Community Infrastructure program to have a 10kw solar energy system installed on the centre's roof and all internal and external lighting upgraded to energy efficient LEDs.
Repairs were also made to the roof after it was discovered that corellas had extracted screws from the galvanised iron sheets.
The installation and repairs were allocated $25,000 and will help with long term costs of energy.

Horsham Rural City Council Mayor Robyn Gulline said the installation of solar power and LED lights will reduce costs to the local community who pay for services to the centre.
"On top of cricket, tennis and football and netball functions, the Community Centre regularly hosts birthdays, funerals and weddings, so it's fair to say that the energy savings will accumulate substantially over the coming years," she said.
"We appreciate and thank the Federal Government for its contribution to our municipality."
