Federal Member for Wide Bay Llew O’Brien announced the Show Society would be given $23,848 to buy two shaded grandstands to improve the showgrounds during hot or inclement weather.
“While we’ve seen good rainfall in some parts of Wide Bay, many communities like Tansey will still be feeling the effects of the prolonged drought, and has been further compounded by the additional challenges of COVID-19, making our ongoing support all the more vital,” Mr O’Brien said.

“This funding for Tansey Show Society is part of a $1.1 million investment under the Foundation for Rural Regional Renewal’s Tackling Tough Times Together program to help build social connections in the community, encourage greater participation in events at the Showgrounds, and stimulate the local economy.”
