South Burnett community groups are being encouraged to apply to the Tarong Community Partnership Fund for assistance with their projects.
Applications for the first round of the 2021-22 fund opened on Monday (September 6) and will close on Saturday, October 9.
The Tarong Community Partnership Fund is operated by Stanwell Corporation, which owns the Tarong power stations and Meandu Mine.
Since its establishment in 2008, the fund has distributed close to $2 million in support for a wide range of community projects across the South Burnett.
“We want local groups with a project in the final planning stages to contact with us to discuss their projects and apply to the fund,” a Stanwell spokesperson said.
“The kind of projects the fund supports should deliver long-term benefits and improvements in employment, access to critical services, educational opportunities and social connectedness.”
To be eligible for funding, applicants must show their project meets at least one of the following criteria:
- Facilitates a collaborative approach to social connectedness;
- Leads to increased employment;
- Improves access to and/or sustainability of existing critical services;
- Enhances educational opportunities and personal leadership; or
- Builds community economic capacity, preparedness and resilience
