Community Grants Round 1 2023/24 outcome!

Maranoa Regional Council and Senex Energy have partnered to provide $12,553 of community grants as part of Maranoa's Regional Council's Community Grants Funding Program Round 1 for 2023/24.

The total committed funds including both Senex & Council are $31,847.34.

The grant recipients are as diverse and wide-ranging as the community itself, with larger grants issued for Mitchell Campdraft Association and Wallumbilla Town Improvement Group and several smaller grant recipients receiving much-needed funds.

Mayor Tyson Golder congratulated all community groups successful in this round of Community Grants.

“These are all great projects that will provide many ongoing benefits for our Maranoa residents,” Cr Golder said.

Senex Energy has partnered with Maranoa Regional Council since 2019 to assist with projects of local organisations through the joint Small Community Grants program.

Senex Community Relations Manager Trevor Robertson said Senex was proud to support the grants program and had seen over the years how these small grants can have a big impact.

“Partnering with Maranoa Council allows Senex to directly support the community it lives, works and operates in. These grants make a big difference by investing in our community and in the process making it just a bit better,” Mr Robertson said.

Mayor Golder said these grants were a way to improve the wellbeing of the community.

“I highly encourage all community groups to apply for these grants,” he said.
