Durack Councils and Community Organisations Called on to Apply for BBRF Grants

Federal Member for Durack,  the Hon. Melissa Price, has welcomed the release of  application guidelines for Round Five of the Building Better Regions Fund (BBRF).

There have been many and varied projects completed in Durack  with succesful BBRF applications  and I would encourage communities  to apply.

 “There are many significant local  improvements I have seen when I visit towns and regions in my electorate that have been created using this funding. This year I have attended the opening of the Three Springs Childcare Centre, met with the Carnarvon  Shire to discuss their BBRF  recycled waterpipe development  and seen the difference an upgraded community health centre and purpose built hydrotherapy  pool has made to the Moora Community,”  Melissa Price said.

 “This Round Five has $100 million of targeted support for tourism-related infrastructure to get regional tourism back on its feet, while maintaining $100 million for broader community infrastructure and investment,” Ms Price said.

 The launch of the program guidelines means prospective applicants can now begin planning their project applications for assessment.

 They can be found at www.business.gov.au/bbrf.

 Applications open on 12 January 2021 and close on 5 March 2021.

 Successful applicants are expected to be announced in mid-2021.

 Ends.
