Stanwell has announced the three successful applicants for the latest round of its popular Tarong Community Partnership Fund program:
- QCWA Kingaroy Branch – Funding to paint the exterior and interior of their hall in Kingaroy Street.
- Kingaroy State High School – Students have turned an overgrown piece of land near the school’s Toomey Street entrance into a yarning circle. The funding will enable the high school to purchase audio equipment to complete the final stage of the project. Students will be able to record the stories of local Wakka Wakka elders for inclusion in the yarning circle, preserving their heritage for future generations.
- South Burnett CTC Inc (The Gumnut Place) – Funding will enable The Gumnut Place to buy an additional industrial washing machine and a dryer unit. This will support The Gumnut Place to take advantage of the increasing demand for laundry services in the South Burnett.
Stanwell Tarong Community Partnership Fund aims to help projects that build social connectedness, lead to increased employment, improve access to critical services, enhance educational opportunities or build economic capacity, preparedness and resilience in the community surrounding the Tarong power stations and Meandu Mine.
“Stanwell is a fantastic supporter of what we do,” South Burnett CTC CEO Nina Temperton said.
“We couldn’t do it without them, and we’re pleased to be able to acknowledge the terrific support we’ve received from Stanwell for our work over the years.”
