A new super round of Queensland’s largest one-off funding grants has been announced to support community groups impacted by the recent natural disasters. Attorney-General and Minister for Justice Shannon Fentiman said $30 million has been set aside for the next round of the GCBF to help local community groups recover from the recent flooding events. “We know recovery for our Queensland
communities following a natural disaster will take a long time,” she said. “That’s why we have combined the May and August 2022 rounds of the GCBF to create a supersized Disaster Recovery Round. “Any community group that has been impacted by a natural disaster in the last two years can apply for a grant of up to $100,000. “Applications from community groups for
other non-recovery related projects are still welcome in this new round, however the funding for projects not linked to a natural disaster will be limited to the standard grant amount of up to $35,000. “The Disaster Recovery round will open on 16th May 2022 and close on 15th July, which we hope
will give groups enough time to assess the damage to their facilities and equipment and work out what they need to get up and running again.” For more information about the Disaster Recovery Round, visit https://www.justice.qld.gov. au/initiatives/communitygrants/current-round.
