Shows are the lifeblood of rural towns and the Inglewood Show Society is continuing to improve its canteen dining room with $7750 secured through the Stronger Communities Program, Maranoa MP David Littleproud announced today.
“The renovations to permit disabled access at the Inglewood Show’s dining room reflects a true sense of community,” Mr Littleproud said.
“Making sure we cater for those with disability guarantees that anyone can get involved with events like the Inglewood Show – strengthening social ties means we are all contributing and bringing our worth to the table.
“I’m a firm believer in bringing people together and improving community services across Maranoa because it has a positive flow-on effect on our quality of life and how we support each other – making improvements to the Dalby Community Hall reflects this.
“Our bush communities are the heart of this country and I want to make sure that small capital projects are funded and the community gets exactly what it needs.”
Round 5 of the Stronger Communities Programme has seen $150,000 in Federal Government funding made available to Maranoa community groups.
Project grants range from $2500 to $20,000 to help bolster rural communities.
