The workshop will be held on Monday, March 25 at the Country Women's Association rooms in Crookwell at 5pm.
"Good quality applications not only make it easier for the fund committee to evaluate the benefits of each community project, it also empowers community groups to seek grants from other sources," Derek Powell, Deputy General Manager, BJCE Australia said.
"We are very proud of this fund and this community."
The funding will go towards projects or initiatives within 10 kilometres of the wind farm.
In 2018-19 the community fund supported seven projects; construction of a fence at the Crookwell Community Garden, new cladding at Grabben Gullen Hall, and a waste water system upgrade to the Bannister District Hall.
The Upper Lachlan Shire Council coordinates the community fund, under its Section 355 provisions.
"We want to make sure everybody has the skills they need to access the fund," Mr Powell said.
Registrations workshop can be made via www.gullenrangewindfarm.com or by contacting Elizabeth Picker on 0429 614 297.
Applications for the 2019-20 Gullen Range Wind Farm Community Fund funding round opened on March 7, and will close May 2.
