Two Limestone Coast groups will receive a boost as part of the Building Better Regions Fund – Community Investment stream.
Women In Business and Regional Development will receive $20,000 for its WiBRD Mentor Connect program.
The project will connect up to 170 current members and aspiring business women over two years with an objective to improve their leadership capabilities and confidence via a structured mentoring program led by Women in Business and Regional Development.
It will be delivered both online through the group’s website as an online mentor portal and through community-based opportunities.
The Limestone Coast Food Group will receive $19,930 for its Limestone Coast Region Strategic Food Plan 2022 to 2030 project.
The project will develop a strategic food plan for the Limestone Coast Region that will direct the development of the region’s food industry.
Federal Member for Barker Tony Pasin said the community-based projects were a positive investment in the electorate’s future.
“I’m really pleased to see these projects receive funding from the Building Better Regions Fund – Community Investment stream,” Mr Pasin said.
“Projects like these will drive economic growth and transform communities, ensuring that our region remains resilient and prosperous into the future.
“I pride myself on being able to deliver funding for projects and initiatives that make Barker an ever-better place to live, work and raise a family.”
