Coastline investing in our communities.

Coastline sponsors over 40 local organisations across the Macleay, Hastings, and Manning Valleys.

Community support and engagement have always been central to Coastline, and we are committed to making a direct meaningful difference to the communities we operate in. 

If Coastline sponsors an organisation, this activity provides a benefit to the community, and in turn this should provide opportunities for Coastline to expand its customer base. The growth of our customer base allows us to continue to invest and increase the percentage of funds invested back in the community.

Local community organisations and groups are encouraged to apply for sponsorship. 

To apply for sponsorship, please submit a Sponsorship Application Form.

Please ensure you submit a comprehensive and complete application, providing all the required information in support of your proposal.
