COMMUNITY GIVEBACK

MWCC has set itself a promise of allocating close to half a million dollars of revenue per annum towards local education, charity and social programs.

PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE

In the first few years of operation, MWCC’s community fund will be focused on mountain-centric programs. For example, years of consultation have made us privy to the plight of both bushwalkers and mountain-bike riders sharing trails in Wellington Park. One of the first issues we heard during consultation with bushwalkers and riders was the ever-constant threat and danger of collision for both recreational groups, which has often made trying to enjoy the park a stressful one.

MWCC seek to co-fund upgrades to a raft of walking and bike-riding trails within Wellington Park, including the design and installation of dedicated trails to ensure each recreational group can once again breathe easy.

EDUCATION

The mountain's story is so intrinsic to Hobart's heritage and reason to exist. Nowhere in the country can students learn about the alpine environment hands-on, within minutes of a capital city.

CLASS IN THE CLOUDS

We believe every Tasmanian student deserves to learn more about the world and fragile environment we live in.

A core proposal is Class in the Clouds: free cableway access for students in one year group per Tasmanian school each year, from Kindergarten to Year 12. Schools would choose the participating year group. A dedicated educational guide would help connect the visit with learning about the alpine environment, engineering and the mountain’s history, with Aboriginal content developed through appropriate cultural engagement.

The program would begin once the cableway operates, with booking arrangements and eligibility published before schools are invited to take part. Thanks to our friends at the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway Company, (TMACC) Cape Town, South Africa for demonstrating how valued this program is.

EVENTS & SPONSORSHIPS

Whilst we appreciate and acknowledge the many outdoor and recreational event organisers who have requested sponsorship from us to date, we look forward to assisting organisers promote the mountain and run their event as smoothly as possible once operational. We anticipate our contributions may be provided in cash and/or in-kind support, such as providing logistics for freight, equipment, volunteers and spectators.
