December 15, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

Six community groups will share in almost $140,000 in grants from the latest round of funding from the Tarong Community Partnership Fund.<\/p>\n

The successful projects:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Tingoora Sports Association<\/strong> – a new storage shed at the grounds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • South Burnett Rugby League Club<\/strong> – install digital meeting technologies in their Kingaroy meeting room offering the club committee increased opportunities to participate in online training and meetings as well as an additional resource for community organisations or individuals to hire<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
      • South Burnett Pantry<\/strong> – install a solar system with battery storage to reduce electricity costs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
          \n
        • Yarraman Kindergarten<\/strong> – create a community mural on the front of the building, facilitated by a local Indigenous artist.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
            \n
          • Wooroolin Warriors Cricket Club<\/strong> – rebuild four turf wickets and level a fifth to meet Cricket Australia design standards and replace the current wicket which has been in use since 1988.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
              \n
            • Ironpot Farmers Hall<\/strong> – construct an accessible ramp at the Ironpot Hall to provide safe and inclusive access for all community members. This project is being delivered in partnership with Wambo Wind Farm\u2019s Community Benefit Fund.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              Stanwell General Manager Southern Generation Mick Joy said the Tarong Community Partnership Fund was about building long-term sustainability of community organisations.<\/p>\n

              \u201cIn the 2024-2025 financial year alone, Tarong power stations and Meandu Mine invested almost $400,000 across 73 incredible community groups, helping to bring their projects and events to life across the South Burnett, Cherbourg and Toowoomba regions,\u201d Mr Joy said.<\/p>\n

              \u201cThe projects we support are as diverse as the groups that apply for funding. Many of these organisations rely entirely on the dedication and hard work of volunteers, and we\u2019re proud to play a role in supporting them in any way that we can.<\/p>\n

              \u201cWe\u2019re really looking forward to seeing the difference these projects will make.\u201d<\/p>\n

              Wooroolin Warriors’ Luke Smith said replacing the wicket square would benefit the whole community.<\/strong><\/p>\n

              \u201cIt will give the club a safe, reliable surface not just for cricket, but for a range of sports, supporting everyone from juniors to seniors and all abilities programs,\u201d Mr Smith said.<\/p>\n

              “It will also ease the workload for our volunteers, who currently spend a lot of time repairing the existing wicket between games.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
