Local community groups across Barron River are set to benefit from a significant funding boost as part of the latest round of the Gambling Community Benefit Fund (GCBF).
Across Queensland, the Crisafulli Government has delivered almost $20 million in grants to more than 800 not-for-profit organisations, supporting the vital work they do in strengthening local communities.
Right here in Barron River, a total of $328,423.63 has been secured for local organisations backing grassroots sport, community services, and local initiatives that make a real difference.
