The Schrinner Council will give $7500 Community Clean-up Payments to help clubs impacted by Tropical Cyclone Alfred.
These payments are now available to help community clubs on Council-leased sites cover the clean-up bill.
Our clubs can use this money for any clean-up efforts required, such as removing fallen trees, cleaning up debris or repairing wind or water damage.
There are more than 600 council community facilities across our suburbs including sporting groups, historical societies, men’s sheds and craft groups.
A similar scheme was introduced after the 2022 floods and was paid to 320 community clubs and to 107 clubs after the 2011 floods.
Our Ute Army can also help clubs clear green waste.
Clubs should contact our Council call centre for help from the Ute Army.
To receive a Community Club Clean-Up Payment, not-for-profit clubs will need to complete a simple survey and provide photographic evidence of the damage.
Quotes attributable to Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner:
“Our community clubs can count on us to help with the clean-up costs so they can reopen for residents as soon as possible.
“With assistance from our Community Clean-Up Payments plus support from the Ute Army it will be a team effort to repair our clubs.
“I know our community will come together to complete the clean-up efforts, and we’re going to help with the bill.
“Our clubs create more to see and do in our suburbs and this funding will help them repair, rebuild and reopen as soon possible.”
