Strengthening Community Through Sport
Presented by Bree James MP, Member for Barron River
Program Overview
As your local Member for Parliament, I’m passionate about supporting grassroots sport in the Barron River electorate. This partnership program is designed to work with local sporting clubs to provide meaningful support tailored to each club’s specific needs and priorities.
This is not a one-size-fits-all sponsorship. Instead, I want to understand what your club needs most and structure a partnership around those priorities.
