Applications are now open for local councils to apply for grants from the Federal Government’s Regional Sport Events Fund, an initiative aimed at kick-starting local economies affected by the pandemic and now floods.
Sport Minister Richard Colbeck said more than 400 eligible councils – including the South Burnett, Cherbourg, Gympie and Toowoomba – can apply for grants of up to $50,000.
Councils have been encouraged to work with local sporting clubs and organisations to deliver sports events to their communities.
Events can range from “come and try” days to larger events including elite sporting exhibitions and State level competitions that engage the broader community.
