Home Hill’s focal point commemorating servicemen and women will receive further enhancement under the inaugural round of the Honouring our Veterans program.
As Anzac Day approaches, Member for Burdekin Dale Last has welcomed a Crisafulli Government announcement of funding to support a new memorial garden at Home Hill.
“Our war memorials stand as a physical symbol, not just for today but for generations that follow, of our pride and eternal gratitude for our current and past servicemen and women,” Mr Last said.
“The Crisafulli Government is proud to support our community’s commemorative initiatives with a cenotaph garden enhancement project at Memorial Park Home Hill.”
“We’re honouring heroes who put their lives on the line for our nation – this is our way to give back.”
Grants are awarded for major projects such as building improvements, creating or refurbishing war memorials, avenues of honour and memorial gardens, and purchasing new equipment.
They can also be received for supporting special events, activities and initiatives commemorating our veterans.
The support has been funded in a record Veterans budget that is also delivering Queensland’s first Veterans and Veterans’ Families Strategy, a boost to commemorative initiatives and initiatives to support the wellbeing of veterans and their families.
“I was proud to see the work undertaken by the Home Hill Sub-Branch in 2018 which has seen the new location of Memorial Park become a focal point during our Anzac Day and Remembrance Day services,” Mr Last said.
“The addition of a memorial gardens only builds on the great work our local RSL have done so generations of Queenslanders can recognise the great sacrifices our servicemen and women have made.”
