Representatives from more than 60 community groups walked away smiling from Kingaroy Town Hall on Wednesday night, clutching cheques handed over to them by the South Burnett Regional Council.<\/p>\n

The third annual Community Assistance Presentation Night provided an opportunity for councillors and community groups from all over the region to come together.<\/p>\n

Cultural Services Co-ordinator\u00a0Michael\u00a0Hunter said the total amount contributed by the South Burnett Regional Council to local groups this year was $336,344 which included $113,500 in community grants and $222,844 in rates remissions and rate exceptions.<\/p>\n

Mayor Wayne Kratzmann said he was proud of the fact that the Council’s Budget showed a small surplus while other governments were battling deficits.<\/p>\n

He said to achieve that “nothing was untouchable”, and that included community grants.<\/p>\n

“We look at them every year but my councillors have the same charter that I have, supporting our community and supporting our volunteers,” he said.<\/p>\n

After the cheque presentations, the audience watched a presentation of “The Poppy Trail”, highlighting the visit earlier this year by South Burnett representatives to Dodewaard and the World War I battlefields of France and Belgium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
