Did you know that the Burdekin Shire Council offers interest free loans to not-for-profit sporting, cultural and community organisations that want to upgrade their facilities or purchase specialised equipment.
This policy aims to encourage the social, cultural and sporting development of the Burdekin Shire area by supporting community organisations’ initiatives. The loans are subject to eligibility criteria, repayment terms and a maximum amount set by the Council. Applications can be for projects that create permanent improvements or items considered to be fixed to a structure erected on Council owned or controlled land. This includes structural improvements of a fixed nature.
Applications can be for projects to purchase large items of specialised plant or requipment to a value greater than $20,000, such as tractor, mowers and the like, to be used for the purpose of enhancing the activity of the sporting/cultural/community organisations.
If you are interested in applying for an interest free loan, you can find more information on Council's website, burdekin.qld.gov.au.
