QGC invests in community

Community

QGC has provided more than $668,000 to 21 community projects through the latest round of its Sustainable Communities Fund.

The recently announced grants include $312,444 to 11 groups in Gladstone and $355,811 to 10 groups in the Western Downs.

QGC Vice President Sustainability, Brett Smith, said grants from the fund were continuing to help improve community facilities across southern Queensland and Gladstone.

"By supporting hard-working community groups, in addition to longer-term projects in health, housing, employment and training, we’re helping to maximise the benefits and mitigate the impacts of construction of our Queensland Curtis LNG Project,'' said Mr. Smith.

The QGC Sustainable Communities Fund has provided more than $5.3 million to 166 short-term, one-off projects since it began in 2011.

Ash Chowdbury, who lectures at Central Queensland University School of Engineering and Technology Gladstone campus, explained that a $33,547 grant would purchase a wind tunnel for the campus that would allow students to study aerodynamic effects on different objects as part of their mechanical engineering studies.

"Purchasing a wind tunnel for our laboratory means that students based here in Gladstone will no longer have to travel to the CQU campus at Rockhampton to conduct these experiments,'' said Mr. Chowdhury.

Tara & District Junior Rugby League President, Greg Coase, stated that a $50,000 grant would fund significant upgrades of the Tara Panthers clubhouse, including new change room and bathroom facilities.

"Upgrading the change rooms and bathrooms would mean the club would again be able to apply to host regional junior rugby league carnivals as we once did in the past. It will also mean the clubhouse will be a suitable venue to host other community functions,'' said Mr. Coase.
