Hosting more local events is the main aim for the Jundah Race Club, which received $9775 under the Stronger Communities Programme to install a plant and stock watering system, Maranoa MP David Littleproud said today.
“The Jundah Race Club and Jundah Campdraft and Rodeo Grounds is an important facility as the place where the community comes together for local events like the rodeo and race days” Mr Littleproud said.
“This funding will support the Jundah Race Club to install a plant and stock watering system at the grounds after many years of drought has hindered the club’s ability to attract and host events.
“This project will improve local community participation and bring residents together from a wide area to attend the rodeo, campdraft and race days all held on the grounds.
“This is great news for the Jundah community and I’m proud to see funds flowing to this project to get events up and running again in 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 at the Jundah Race 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 were funded in this round.
Project grants range from $2500 to $20,000 to help bolster rural communities.
