Lord Mayor’s Better Suburbs Grant – Aspley RLFC

Nine community groups, including bowls, croquet, and archery clubs, will receive a share of almost $1 million as part of the Lord Mayor’s Better Suburbs Grants.

Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner recently announced the latest grant recipients who will receive funding to improve and maintain their facilities.

“These grants have proven extremely effective in getting much-needed funds to community groups so they can improve their facilities for all to enjoy,” Cr Schrinner said.

“Our community clubs are run by locals for locals and we know how challenging it can be for our community clubs to fund and deliver upgrades.

The Schrinner Council is committed to supporting these groups who help make Brisbane such a great place to live, work and relax.”

Since opening in August 2021 the Lord Mayor’s Better Suburbs grants have given more than $2.9 million to over 110 different community organisations.

Cr Schrinner said the latest grants would help groups deliver everything from new bowling greens and clubhouse upgrades to long-term sporting precinct masterplans.

“These grants are helping clubs all across Brisbane from Aspley to Bellbowrie,” he said.

“While some local clubs will use these funds to improve their facilities now by upgrading their bowling greens, clubhouses and roofs, others will use the funding to plan for the future to ensure their facilities can cater for future growth.

With the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games fast approaching it’s important we continue to invest in our great local facilities as they could be a training ground for our young athletes wanting to compete in sports such as archery, golf and soccer.

Our investment in community and sports clubs ensures they’ll be here for future generations to enjoy.”
