Community Programs Portfolio Councillor Jenny McKay said council’s Community Partnership Funding Program would assist community groups to deliver key services and facilities to the Sunshine Coast community.

“From sporting facilities to cultural and community organisations, the program will support not-for-profit organisations that help reinforce the region as a desirable place to live, work, invest, visit and value,” Cr McKay said.

“The funding program was established to enhance council’s capacity to deliver on the objectives of its Corporate Plan and to provide funding certainty to community groups providing services that are needed within the region.
