​Regular donors and one off donations keep our residents fed, happy and healthy, but for major projects, our progress is limited by contributions that we receive above and beyond our baseline operational costs. If you are keen to make a major contribution let us know, below are the types of projects on our "to do" list, if they sound like something you'd like to support, please drop us a line, we're keen to discuss how we can show our appreciation to you or your organisation!

Bridge upgrades - $50,000

Our bridge provides a lifeline to the sanctuary, allowing two wheel access to the property and ensuring even during times of extended flooding, we are not cut off for very long. We need to undertake significant upgrades on the bridge that include large amounts of concreting to ensure that with each flooding event, the access to our bridge is not swept away or damaged.

​

Additional Volunteer Accommodation - $50,000

At present, we can support up to three on site volunteers to help us with the day to day operations at the sanctuary. We are working towards purchasing a second accommodation building that will allow us to double this capacity.

Solar Lighting for Stables & Visitors Centre Stage 3 - $30,000

The sanctuary is powered via an off grid solar electricity system. As our facilities have increased, so have our demands for power and we desperately need to upgrade our solar battery system to allow us to provide heating in our stables and ensure consistent power source over the winter with its shorter, often cloudy days.

Water Tanks - $12,000

Climate Change is real, and with tank & dam water being the only source of water for our residents we are looking to place a water tank off each of our animal shelters to capture the valuable liquid that falls from the sky!

Additional Shelters - $12,000

In order for each of our existing paddocks to have a shelter, we need to construct 3 more, at around $4,000 each.
