District groups to benefit from grants
by Joanna Jones

SEVERAL local groups will benefit from grants from the Gaming Machine Community Benefit Fund for the March quarter.

The Lions Club of Palmwoods-Woombye will receive $15,000 towards upgrades to the community centre.

The Tanawha & District Community Association have been allocated $15,000 towards the fitout of their community centre.

Queensland Treasurer David Hamill said that the whole community benefits from these grants.

"It is heartening to see part of the gaming dollar being put towards worthwhile community causes."

The Community Benefit Fund was established in 1994 to ensure community organisations benefited from the introduction of poker machines in Queensland.
