Sports stars, groups and events have been given an almost $250,000 boost through Bundaberg Regional Council’s 2023 grants and financial assistance programs.
Throughout the year, 18 community, state and national sporting organisations were supported.
This assistance was provided through a range of Council programs including Community Grants, Sport Championships Funding, Young People in Sport and the Partnerships and Sponsorship programs.
