A NEW kitchen has been built at Fraser Coast Artslink, as well as additional storage, thanks to a grant from the Federal Government.

“Fraser Coast Artslink received $4017 for a much-needed upgrade of the kitchen and extra storage was also added,” Mr Pitt said.
“The Stronger Communities Program has been very successful for community groups and organisations like Fraser Coast Artslink that would otherwise struggle to fund these types of projects.

Subscriber only A new funding opportunity for community groups and not-for-profit organisations planning new capital projects or upgrades is now taking expressions of interest. Hinkler MP Keith Pitt has announced a new round of the popular Stronger Communities Program. Mr Pitt said the funding comes after what has been an tough year for the community and local groups and organisations. It s been a tough year for the whole community, but in particular local groups and organisations which haven t been able to meet or operate as normal due to COVID restrictions, he said. To reflect this, this special round of the Stronger Communities Program will fund up to 100 per cent of eligible costs, with grants of between $2500 and $20,000. This is a significant change, for this round only, which means groups and organisations do not need to match funding.
