THE Camden Haven Rural Fire Brigade and Harrington Bowling Club and Public School have received the largest of the just announced Community Building Partnership Grants for the Port Macquarie electorate.
MP Robert Dwyer said 22 community groups across Harrington, the Camden Haven and Hastings will share in $450,000.
The State Government funds will deliver much needed improvements to local facilities and emergency services.
“The Community Building Partnerships grants directly benefit our community, often creating local jobs and increasing business opportunities,” he said, “while, at the same time, enhancing local investment in the Port Macquarie electorate.”
The successful Camden Haven and Harrington-area applicants and their funding amounts are:
– Camden Haven Rural Fire Brigade for upgrade works: $54,792.
– Harrington Bowling Club for an emergency evacuation generator: $30,000.
– Harrington Public School P&C to resurface the basketball court: $30,000.
