Mr Millar, whose electorate spans more than 460,000sq. km’s, is proud to be able announce these grants today.
“The Gambling Community Benefit Fund helps local sporting and community groups undertake vital activities, including infrastructure upgrades and purchasing new equipment.”
“These one-off grants are important for local sporting and community groups in Central and Western Queensland who are often overlooked by other major funding programs and struggle to raise funds with a smaller membership base.”
“Our sporting and community organisations are the lifeblood of our communities, they improve the social, mental and physical wellbeing of townspeople and ensure our regional communities have a vibrant future.”
“These grants not only help the local organisations, they flow onto local builders, painters and small businesses, helping the whole community to prosper.”
