More than $60,000 in funding to help South Burnett RSLs in Nanango, Blackbutt and Yarraman

MORE than $60,000 in Federal Government funding will be spread across South Burnett RSLAs to help local veterans, Maranoa MP David Littleproud announced today.

“The Nanango Sub-branch will receive $54,511 in funding to upgrade kitchen facilities thanks to the government’s Veteran and Community Grants program,” Mr Littleproud said.

“Under the Building Excellence in Support and Training (BEST) grants program, the Nanango Sub-branch will also receive $1173 to expand on their services to further support veterans and their families.

“Also under BEST, the Blackbutt Sub-branch will receive $2425 and the Yarraman Sub-branch will receive $1975 to continue their great work within these communities.

“Our community organisations, ex-service organisations and other local veteran groups provide valuable services and support to veterans and their families, and this funding will help them to further improve these services.

“I congratulate the sub-branch for its commitment to the community and our veterans and I thank them for the essential support they continue to provide.”
