Bravus spends more than $1.5m on community programs and partnerships

It’s official – we’ve spent more than $1.5 million on community programs and partnerships across regional Queensland since 2018.

Bravus is proud to have partnered with more than 50 community organisations right across regional Queensland including,

Charters Towers, the Burdekin, the Isaac region, Rockhampton, Townsville, Mackay, the Whitsundays and more over the last three years.

From flood recovery to neonatal hospital equipment, community pool upgrades and farmers’ drought relief, we are proud that our community partnership program gives back to all the regions within the footprint of the Carmichael Project.

Regional Queenslanders have been behind us throughout our 10-year journey to build the Carmichael mine and rail Project and we are proud to be able to contribute to the well-being and vibrancy of their communities in return.

The Bravus Community Partnership Fund assists not-for-profit organisations and community groups with initiatives and events within the project footprint.

The annual program distributes numbers of grants of up to $10,000 four times a year.

Applications are now open for the second round of funding for the 2021 Bravus Community Partnership Fund, and we encourage community organisations to get their application in before 15 June. It’s easy to apply via bravus.com.au so get your applications lodged!
