Community groups in the Kumbia, Bell and Jandowae areas wanting to kick start local projects have been invited to apply for up to $200,000 in funding in a bumper round of Wambo Wind Farm’s Community Benefit Fund program.
Two grant rounds have been combined to create the bumper round.
Wambo Wind Farm project director Stewart Alexander said Wambo Wind Farm had contributed more than $500,000 across the Western Downs in community sponsorship.
Last year, it supported the Bell Bunya Community Centre to carry out a refurbishment.
The centre is a creative and social hub for the Bell Community, hosting history and heritage groups, health and fitness classes, library programs and theatre and art exhibitions.
President Jayne Rohrlach said volunteers used the grant to help refresh the centre.
“The funding allowed us to repaint gallery spaces and rooms, upgrade fittings and improve the overall look and feel of the facility,” she said.
Applications for the combined round opened on Monday (May 25) and will close on July 6.
