More than $200,000 in funding has been allocated to local groups in the Maroochydore area.
The boosts came via Round 108 of the Gambling Community Benefit Fund Grant and the first round of the Investing in Queensland Women Grant.
Member for Maroochydore Fiona Simpson said the funding would be well spent.
“It is really exciting to the see the community benefiting from these funding opportunities.”
“These grants assist our organisations to continue to provide important services within our local community.”
“And it was great to see Mudjimba Surf Life Saving Club receive funding for further club upgrades, as they celebrate their 25th birthday this year.
“It was also really fantastic that Maroochydore had two wins with the first round of the Investing in Queensland Women grant.”
