January 19, 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

Almost $450,000 will pour into the local community from the latest round of Gambling Community Benefit Fund grants.<\/p>\n

The grants were announced by Attorney-General Yvette D’Ath on Thursday,<\/p>\n

More than 700 community groups across Queensland will benefit from the $14.9 million Gambling Community Benefit Fund (GCBF) Round 102.<\/p>\n

In the South Burnett, recipients include the South Burnett Musical Comedy Society, which plans to build a new shed at the South Burnett Enterprise Centre in Kingaroy, and the Murgon Business & Development\u00a0Association which will receive $27,000 to help cover the costs of its Easter Fair.<\/p>\n

GCBF grants are worth between $500 and $35,000 and applications are open to not-for-profit organisations.<\/p>\n

Over the past 25 years, GCBF has distributed more than $902 million to community groups in Queensland.<\/p>\n

Applications for the next round will close on February 29.<\/p>\n
