Powerlink's overarching sponsorship framework is focused on ensuring we achieve strong business benefit and best overall value for our investment, in line with the sponsorship budget and available resources.

It is also preferred that sponsorships align strategically with the following three key focus areas: empowering
communities; protecting and conserving the environment; supporting safety and well-being. Powerlink also has
a preference to support projects with a strong educational component. Examples of activities that Powerlink will
consider supporting are:

• a) Empowering communities - activities which assist communities in areas near Powerlink's infrastructure to achieve their goals, for example, supporting essential community infrastructure providers or services.
• b) Protecting and conserving the environment - for example tree planting projects, environment protection or rehabilitation projects.
• c) Supporting safety and well-being - for example, supporting programs or initiatives that deliver safety and/or well-being outcomes.
• d) Education (children/students) - for example supporting science and educational initiatives, particularly those related to energy efficiency, engineering, science and information systems.
• e) Education (industry) - for example, conferences (particularly those related to the electricity or telecommunications industry) and activities which raise awareness and increase understanding in the areas of energy efficiency, business development and Powerlink's business activities.
