Member for Port Macquarie, Leslie Williams said the funds will deliver much-needed improvements to local facilities including the Bonny Hills Rural Fire Brigade who have received $20,000 to extend their training and meeting room.
"This is fantastic news. This grassroots funding will directly help create a more vibrant and inclusive local community with positive social, environmental and recreational outcomes," Mrs Williams said.
"I congratulate all the organisations that were successful in their application and look forward to seeing how these projects make a real difference for community groups in the area."
