Three Woodridge community groups are among hundreds across Queensland to share in $16 million in funding from the latest round of Gambling Community Benefit Fund (GCBF) grants.
Member for Woodridge Cameron Dick said three organisations in the Woodridge community had been successful.
“For many years, the Gambling Community Benefit Fund has supported worthy community groups throughout Logan, and this round’s recipients in Woodridge are no exception,” Mr Dick said.
“This is a program that continues to deliver for our local community, especially as we deliver our Economic Recovery Plan for COVID-19.”
Successful recipients include:
- Park Ridge Pony Club ($35,000 to construct dressage arena)
- Hungarian Cultural and Welfare Association ($35,000 to renovate main hall)
- Woodridge Kingston & Logan Central Progress Association ($12,420 ton install air conditioning & paint hall roof)
Attorney-General and Minister for Justice Shannon Fentiman said eligible organisations can go online and apply for funding under Round 108.
“We know 2020 was extremely tough for so many Queenslanders,” Ms Fentiman said.
“These grants are helping Queensland communities get back on their feet.
“I would encourage any community organisations including sporting clubs, P&Cs and not-for-profits to apply for grants of up to $35,000 for projects that will benefit their community.”
Round 108 of the Gambling Community Benefit Fund is open for application until 28 February 2021. To view the full list of recipients from Round 106 and apply for Round 108 visit www.justice.qld.gov.au/grants.
