· Maroochydore Surf Life Saving Club – $15,454 for the purchase of rescue boat and equipment
· ASD Care (Autism Spectrum Disorder) – $34,898 for the purchase of a motor vehicle
Ms Simpson said she encouraged community organisations to apply for the next round of funding before the end of February 2014.
