Member for Nanango Deb Frecklington has welcomed funding from Round 126 of the Gambling Community Benefit Fund, with the Somerset region set to receive a welcome boost through more than $87,000 in support for local projects.
The Gambling Community Benefit Fund continues to play an important role in supporting grassroots organisations, enabling them to grow, enhance their services, and deliver meaningful outcomes for their communities.
Round 126 recipients in the Somerset include:
• Esk Country Golf Club. $35,000.00 to purchase new mower

• Toogoolawah RSL Sub-Branch $30,000.00 to upgrade hall

“These grants provide vital support for community and sporting organisations, helping them upgrade facilities, deliver programs and strengthen the social fabric of our region,” Deb said.
“Local volunteers and organisations do an incredible job supporting the South Burnett, often going above and beyond to make a difference. This funding helps ease financial pressures and gives them the resources they need to continue building stronger, more connected communities.”
“Every project funded through this round represents a genuine investment in our region. I look forward to seeing these initiatives come to life and the lasting benefits they will bring to local communities.” Said Deb.
