Supporting the region since 2016
Within the Central Highlands region, we currently employ 7.5 full time equivalent personnel, injecting $440,000 worth of wages into the region during the 21/22 financial year alone.

This money goes into the hands of your grocery stores, butchers, cafes, pubs, and many more local businesses. As part of doing business within the region, Proterra Group supports many local businesses and considers engaging local businesses an important element in our philosophy of encouraging the growth of regional communities. During the 21/22 financial year, we spent approximately $140,000 with Central Highlands suppliers.

At Proterra Group we are committed to supporting local community groups. Whether it’s dropping a line in at the Saratoga Fishing Competition or donating a fire pit to the local Kindy, we take great pride in investing in regional communities and their events.
