Member for Nanango, Deb Frecklington, has welcomed the announcement today of $488,000 in State Government funding for the construction of new Disability Housing in Nanango.
Mrs Frecklington said that South Burnett CTC had been successful with their application to the State Government’s Elderly Patient Carer Innovation Trial (through the Department of Communities) and will now be assured of their plans to build three duplexes in Nanango for people with a disability.
“I’m extremely proud to be able to congratulate South Burnett CTC on their successful bid to secure these funds,” Mrs Frecklington said.
“The announcement comes hot on the heels of the official handover by the Treasurer on Wednesday 25th of State Government land to help kick-start the project,” she said.
“I know how important this project is for our community and I’m really proud to have been able to help secure this land for South Burnett CTC following months of lobbying the Treasurer,”
“This further funding announcement is the icing on the cake and is such terrific news for the Nanango community,” she said.
“I’d also really like to congratulate Heritage Nanango Community Fund and the South Burnett Regional Council for their involvement in helping to make this project a reality,” Deb said.
