Member for Nanango, Deb Frecklington has congratulated four local community groups on receiving one of her ‘Local Hero Grants’ in Round 22 of the program.

Deb said the grants will go to groups ranging from supporting homeless services, to sporting groups and campdrafting.

“These are modest but meaningful grants of $250 to help clubs achieve those smaller projects,” Mrs Frecklington said.

The Local Hero Grants are now in their ninth year and are designed to provide small donations to not-for-profit community groups and individuals from across the Nanango Electorate.

The winners of the March 2024 Round 22 are:

  • Western Stars Cali Dance Studio – Supporting the growth of calisthenics in the South Burnett
  • Kingaroy Netball Club – Supporting netball
  • Kilcoy Campdraft – Ribbons and Awards for Junior Riders in the Novelty Events

“I would like to congratulate the successful groups and encourage other interested organisations to apply in the next round of funding which closes on 31 August.

“If you would like to apply, please go to www.debfrecklington.com.au or contact

the Nanango Electorate office on 4190 7100 for the guidelines,” Deb said.
