HINTERLAND community groups are starting 2026 on a high, with member for Glass House, Andrew Powell, announcing six local organisations will share in more than $295,000 from the Gambling Community Benefit Fund (GCBF) Super Round.
More than 500 not-for-profit groups across Queensland shared in over $31 million in the latest Super Round, which marked the highest number of applications in the Fund’s 31-year history. This record-breaking round is helping community organisations deliver projects that strengthen local facilities, support sporting and cultural activities, and improve safety and resilience for the year ahead.
Attorney-General and Minister for Justice and Minister for Integrity Deb Frecklington said she was pleased to see the GCBF Super Round support communities across Queensland. “The GCBF Super Round is a wonderful opportunity to support organisations across the State as they work to help their own local communities, ,” the Attorney-General said.
Mr Powell said the grants would benefit community groups that have faced challenges with stretched budgets and rising costs.
“Every dollar invested by the Crisafulli Government through the GCBF goes directly to the heart of our communities, and I’m proud to support Glass House organisations with this vital funding,” Mr Powell said.
Glass House District Tennis Club has received $31,495.00 to replace court lighting, paving the way for night-time tennis in the near future. Other local community groups receiving funding this round include: Maleny District Sport and Recreation Club – $14,020.00 to upgrade carpark and Woodford Community Art Group – $2,440.00 to install lighting
