Preventing domestic violence in the Gladstone region has been given a boost, with Stronger Communities sharing in part of $2.5m to help address the escalating problem.
The partnership funding between state and federal governments aims to help domestic, family and sexual violence service providers respond to the complexities and challenges resulting from COVID-19.
Member for Gladstone Glenn Butcher said $56,387 would help Stronger Communities Ltd provide a vital service helping families in the region with domestic and family violence.
“It is fantastic to see the Stronger Communities Ltd as one of the successful recipients as they assist victims of domestic and family violence and support them in the safest and most appropriate way for their individual needs,” Mr Butcher said.
Students at St Brendanâs College in Yeppoon will benefit from the construction of a new science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) hub after the school received a $3.7 million grant from the Australian Government.
The project was funded through the Capital Grants Program, which provides funding for non-government schools to improve their infrastructure.
Federal Member for Capricornia Michelle Landry said students and staff at St Brendanâs College would benefit from the construction of new science rooms, wet laboratories, breakout areas, exhibition hall and the conversion of existing spaces into more modern facilities.
âStudents and teachers thrive when their schools have modern, functional facilities like these supporting educational outcomes,â Ms Landry said.
