South Burnett Mayor Brett Otto has encouraged community groups affected by the recent floods to apply for funding under the latest round of the State Government’s Gambling Community Benefit Fund.
A new super round has been announced to support community groups affected by the recent natural disasters.
A total of $30 million has been set aside for the next round to help local community groups recover from the recent floods.
This will combine the May and August rounds to create a super-sized Disaster Recovery Round.
“Any community group impacted by a natural disaster in the last two years can apply for a grant of up to $100,000,” Mayor Otto said.
“Applications from community groups for other non-recovery related projects are still welcome in this new round, however the funding for projects not linked to a natural disaster will be limited to the standard grant amount of up to $35,000.
“The Disaster Recovery round will open on May 16 and close on July 15, giving groups time to assess any damage to property, facilities and equipment and work out what they may need to recover.”
