Barron Trinity Bulls receive funding to improve facilities
THE Albanese Labor Government committed a $30,000 boost to the Barron Trinity Bulls to restore their aging clubhouse in Machans Beach, and it is delivering on that commitment in the October Budget.
The funding will enable Barron Trinity Bulls to redevelop their upstairs area into a multipurpose space.
Special Envoy for the Great Barrier Reef, Senator Nita Green, said the funding to redevelop the clubhouse would mean a lot to the community that uses the facility.
“The redevelopment of the clubhouse will mean the Barron Trinity Bulls will be able to hire out their space to the community,” Ms Green said.
“This will support the club financially and support the local community coming together.
“I am proud to be delivering this win for the Barron Trinity Bulls and the broader Cairns community ahead of the Federal Budget.
“It shows that the Albanese Labor Government is staying true to its commitments and the needs of regional Queensland,” she said.
Assistant Minister for Regional Development and Education, and Queensland Senator, Anthony Chisholm said that the Government is proud to support local groups in communities like Cairns.
“The Albanese Labor Government will be a Government for all of Australia and deliver the infrastructure and services that our communities need,” Mr Chisholm said.
“I know that the $30,000 to be delivered in the budget for the Barron Trinity Bulls will have a significant impact on the club. Not only will it improve the quality of the clubhouse, but it will allow great participation from the community in sports.”
The Barron Trinity Bulls are a rugby union club, and they are committed to supporting the community and other clubs by lending their facilities and opening their doors to whoever needs them.
Barron Trinity Bulls celebrated the $30,000 boost on social media and said the funds would go a long way in reaching their goals.
