Stockland Aura has awarded almost $500,000 to 21 local organisations through its latest Community Grants Program, supporting initiatives in community connection, sustainability, health, and inclusion.
This year’s recipients include Rhythm, a charity assisting disadvantaged individuals, and Gateway Care, Queensland’s largest food rescue organisation.
Local SES groups in Caloundra and Glasshouse Mountains also received funding for their emergency services, while sporting clubs such as Aura Netball and Caloundra City Soccer Club will use their grants to enhance community participation.
At the awards ceremony on Friday, March 21, Stockland Development Director Josh Sondergeld highlighted the program’s growing impact.
“These grants directly support the people and organisations making a real difference in our community,” he said.
Division 1 Councillor Jenny Broderick praised the initiative.
“This support will help local groups provide much-needed meals, enhance sporting facilities, and strengthen emergency services,” she said.
