“These grants provide vital support for community and sporting organisations, helping them upgrade facilities, deliver programs and strengthen the social fabric of our region,” Mrs Frecklington said.
“Local volunteers and organisations do an incredible job supporting the South Burnett, often going above and beyond to make a difference. This funding helps ease financial pressures and gives them the resources they need to continue building stronger, more connected communities.
“Every project funded through this round represents a genuine investment in our region. I look forward to seeing these initiatives come to life and the lasting benefits they will bring to local communities.”
She encouraged community groups to watch for announcements regarding the opening of Round 127.
