“Grants of up to $35,000 are available for equipment, facility upgrades, events, vehicles and more,” he said.
“We recently visited the Gladstone Maritime Museum who have previously been successful in receiving the Gambling Community Benefit Fund to purchase display cases to showcase Gladstone’s colourful maritime and local history.
“The Gladstone Maritime Museum are hoping to have the new cases by the end of August providing additional collection of Gladstone’s history.
“These grants are helping Queensland communities get back to business. I would encourage any community organisations including sporting clubs, P & Cs and not-for-profits to apply for grants of up to $35,000 for projects that will benefit their community.”
