Eligible not-for-profit sport and recreation clubs can apply for up to $1 million to help repair, restore, rebuild, and where possible, improve resilience of facilities damaged during the severe weather events. $27.5 million is available in 18 Local Government Areas (LGAs) across Southeast Queensland impacted by ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred, while a further $15 million is available to 40 LGAs affected by the Western Queensland floods from earlier this year.

Ergon Energy Community Fund
Grants are available up to $10k with areas of focus for golf clubs being disaster readiness and energy efficiency. Ideas could be aimed at building community resilience (like disaster preparedness) or advancing sustainable energy initiatives including solar, battery storage, energy literacy – just to name a few.
We’d love to hear about projects that might support preparedness for weather events, or disaster recovery e.g. impacts to community infrastructure, mental health and wellbeing. Or help your community play a part in sustainable energy solutions or supporting environmental initiatives.
