Member for Nanango, Deb Frecklington has congratulated the Somerset Regional Council on securing State Government funding for upgrades at the Toogoolawah McConnel Park.
Mrs Frecklington said the Council has received $46,000 through the Local Government Grants and Subsidies Program.
“The Council has successfully secured funding to help them replace the existing playground facilities in McConnel Park and also install a shade structure,” Mrs Frecklington said.
“This will be a great boost for Toogoolawah and I’m sure will be extremely welcomed by local families,” she said.
Deb said the 2014-15 Local Government Grants and Subsidies Program would help councils support and grow their communities. This project is among a raft of projects across Queensland providing much-needed community infrastructure
“These grants show we are investing in our towns and cities to ensure a brighter future through vital projects that support the region’s economic development and community pride,” Deb said.
“We are also giving the projects an early boost with a bigger slice of the grant upfront to help councils start and finish work as quickly as possible.”
