SBcare Inc Chairman Paul Laurentiussen, CEO Cheryl Dalton, Member for Nanango Deb Frecklington and Member for Maranoa David Littleproud … SBcare’s notoriously heavy tables could be replaced thanks to government funding<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

November 22, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

The community hall at SBcare in Kingaroy will receive a much-needed makeover thanks to $20,000 funding from the Federal Government.<\/p>\n

Member for Maranoa David Littleproud announced the funding at the centre on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

SBcare CEO Cheryl Dalton said the money would be used to paint and buy equipment for the area, which is used regularly by a number of community groups including the Senior Citizens.<\/p>\n

The current evaporative air conditioning will be replaced with modern air-conditioning which will be quieter, cooler and more efficient.<\/p>\n

New tables and chairs are also on Cheryl’s wish list.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnder the Stronger Communities Program, SBcare will receive $20,000 to make safety improvements and paint the hall, install air-conditioning, add a level outdoor area and purchase new equipment,\u201d Mr Littleproud said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSBcare is an aged and disability community care service working across the South Burnett region, and organised this funding application to upgrade the hall so it meets a variety of needs and can be used by a larger array of community groups.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnder the funding guidelines, projects had to deliver social benefits. SBcare\u2019s proposal will help more than 10 community groups to safely access this community space for free or at a concessional charge.\u201d<\/p>\n

SBcare chairman Paul Laurentiussen said due to its age, the hall was in need of some maintenance work.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“This funding will be appreciated by all hall users,” he said.<\/p>\n

“The funding will probably be earmarked to upgrade the old gas heaters and evaporative coolers, something that will be a real asset to this facility and the users of the hall.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cheryl said SBcare was very grateful to have been considered as a recipient of the grant.<\/p>\n

“Infrastructure funding is difficult to come by and we appreciate David\u2019s interest in both SBcare and the community that we work with. This grant will make a big difference in our aim to upgrade the hall over the next year.\u201d<\/p>\n

In July, Mr Littleproud put out a call to community groups asking: \u201cWhat would you do with $20,000?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

He said he was overwhelmed by the calibre and array of projects nominated for the Stronger Communities Program funding.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe project nominations were of a high standard and I received more than 50 applications seeking more than $500,000 in funding,” he said.<\/p>\n

All Federal electorates were allocated $150,000 under the program, with up to 20 projects being able to be funded.<\/p>\n

An Independent Assessment Panel reviewed all the applications and successful projects were then invited to progress to the next phase, where projects were reviewed by the Industry Department for final approval.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
