Infrastructure Grants Inject $93K to Cassowary Coast Organisations

Ten community organisations will share in $93,000 worth of Council grants that will improve infrastructure at clubhouses and sporting grounds throughout the Cassowary Coast.

With an overall project value of $646,000, the grants will contribute to building improvements as well as field and amenity upgrades.

Cassowary Coast Mayor Mark Nolan said the grants were allocated using operational savings from Council’s asset rationalisation.

“Through savings that were achieved by identifying under-utilised Council assets that were no longer providing value to the community, we’re pleased to be able to further invest in our local organisations,” Mayor Nolan said.

“The projects that we’re supporting across the ten organisations are worth over half a million dollars demonstrating their vast contributions to our community, from health and wellbeing to our local economy.”

Cassowary Coast Regional Council's Community Grants and Support Program provides for community members and local organisations that endeavour to make positive change and contribute to a vibrant community.

Round One of the 2023-2024 Community Infrastructure Program opened for applications on 4 October 2023 and closed on 10 November 2023.  Following panel assessment, successful applicants were endorsed by Council at the December Local Government Meeting.
