Local volunteer groups and sporting clubs in Fernvale, Queensland, have until 19 February 2026 to apply for cash support to fund community projects and new equipment. This money is available through the Community Assistance Grants program, which is currently accepting applications for its latest funding round.
Successful applicants can receive between $500 and $5,500 to help pay for local events, services, or equipment costs. According to the Somerset Regional Council, the program is designed to provide financial help to small non-profit organisations that contribute to the region.
Mayor Jason Wendt said the funding can make a huge difference for hard-working volunteer organisations. He encouraged groups to watch the council’s tutorial video or contact the community team if they need help with the paperwork.
Applications must be submitted by 5:00 pm on Thursday, 19 February 2026. Council rules state that projects funded in this round cannot begin before 27 March 2026.
Groups such as those using the Fernvale Community Hall can find the forms on the council website. For more information, residents can call 5424 4000 or email the council office.
