Local community and not-for-profit organisations have until 5pm next Friday, the 9th of May, to apply for funding from the 2025 Haughton Sustainable Community Fund, with up to $10,000 available per successful applicant.
Administered by Pacific Blue, the fund supports projects across the Burdekin Shire—including Ayr, Brandon, Clare, Dalbeg, Giru, Home Hill, and Millaroo—that deliver lasting benefits in health, education, environment, sport, culture, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander wellbeing.
With a total of $80,000 on offer this year, the fund has already helped deliver 76 projects locally since the Haughton Solar Farm’s commissioning in 2019. Past recipients include the Burdekin Amateur Basketball Association, Ayr Surf Lifesaving Club, and Zonta Club.
In light of recent flooding, Pacific Blue has extended the application window to assist organisations in their recovery efforts.
“As we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Pacific Blue Sustainable Communities Fund program across Australia, we are proud to see the positive impact it brings to the Burdekin region,” said Pacific Blue CEO Domenic Capomolla.
“We hope this year’s fund will assist the Burdekin in recovering from the recent flooding, while recognising the region’s resilience.”
Applicants must submit through the SmartyGrants online platform, and are reminded to check they’ve received a confirmation email upon submission. Late or incomplete applications will not be accepted.
