There’s just over two days left for local residents to help the Goomeri Show Society try to win $5000 worth of irrigation equipment as part of a rebuilding project.
The Goomeri Show Pavilion, already battered by a storm, was flooded with a metre of water during the January 2013 floods and has been unusable since.
The Show Society hopes to rebuild the pavilion on higher ground as part of a project that will also require new piping to cattle yards, tanks, the pavilion and new watering systems.
Spokesman Andrew Holden said the Society owned the land so it didn’t receive any council or government funding for any repairs or maintenance.
It has entered a competition run by poly pipe company Philmac which has $5000 grants available in five Australian regions.
Voting by the public on social media will determine which projects are short-listed for funding.
Voting closes on December 20 (see the time countdown on the link, below)
The winners will be announced on February 3.
