The
2022 Grants
The Stanthorpe Agricultural Society would like to thank the Queensland Government's department of Tourism, Innovation and Sport for a grant provided under the Active Gameday Projects Fund. This program aims to deliver quality and accessible places and spaces through infrastructure solutions that respond to community needs, improve accessibility and inspire activity. The fund will provide not-for-profit sport and active recreation organisations and local governments throughout Queensland with funding to support minor infrastructure projects that benefit local communities.
This funding was instrumental in completing a drainage upgrade project involving the Stockman's Arena and surrounds at Stanthorpe Showgrounds.

This project will support community infrastructure improvements to the Stanthorpe Showgrounds that will increase community usage of the venue to foster connectedness, improve wellbeing and increase knowledge sharing, by engaging sections of the population that are not able to access key community information in other means.
This project is supported by FRRR, through funding from the Australian Government's Future Drought Fund.
