The Queensland Government has extended the state’s Disaster Recovery Program to provide support for flood-impacted sport and recreation centres in western Queensland.
Grants of up to $5,000 are available for organisations in areas declared under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements to help clubs with clean-up efforts.
Further financial assistance will be considered once damage assessments are completed, to ensure clubs are fully operational as soon as possible for their communities.
Queensland Minister for Sport, Tim Mander, encouraged all eligible clubs to apply for the available assistance.
“The State Government stands shoulder to shoulder with everyone impacted by the flooding in western Queensland,” Mander said.
“We want to ensure each of these communities returns to life as normal, including being active through local sporting organisations.
“I strongly urge every eligible club to reach out for help through the Queensland Government’s Disaster Recovery Program and quickly get back to playing an important role in serving their community.”
