Local bowlers will be at the top of their game in Yarraman with an improved bowling green to play on, thanks to a $8090 grant from the Federal Government, Maranoa MP David Littleproud announced.
“The Yarraman Bowls Club is an important facility for the whole community as the venue for a number of community events and a gathering point for local seniors and bowlers,” Mr Littleproud said.
“The club is dependent on a good bowling surface to provide facilities that will encourage and support participation within the community, and that’s why I’m pleased to secure $8090 through the Stronger Communities Programme which will allow the club to purchase a new mower to keep the greens in tip top condition.
“This is great news for the Yarraman community and the volunteers who are working hard behind the scenes to provide a valuable facility to the community.
“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 Yarraman Bowls Club reflects this.
“Regional 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 6 of the Stronger Communities Programme has seen $150,000 in Federal Government funding made available to Maranoa community groups. 14 projects across Maranoa were funded in this round.
Project grants range from $2500 to $20,000 to help bolster rural communities.
