Fraser Coast sporting clubs and community groups will share in more than $88,000 in Council grants to improve their equipment and facilities.

“The grants will help clubs and groups to invest in a range of new equipment, from trailers to take equipment to events, to shade structures and canteen upgrades,” Fraser Coast Mayor George Seymour said.

“These clubs are so important for our community.  Supporting them helps to make the Fraser Coast remains a vibrant, active and healthy community.”

Council supported 24 applications through Round 3 of the 2022-23 Community Grants Program, with only $60,055 left to be allocated in Round 4.

Applications for Round 4 are open now and close on May 1, with more information available at https://www.frasercoast.qld.gov.au/grants
