The Queanbeyan Archery Club is set to undergo significant improvements, thanks to a $240,000 grant from the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure (LCRI) Program.
This is one of many projects we’re delivering in partnership with the council, as part of $9.6 million in LRCI funding.
This Australian Government funding will enhance the Queanbeyan Archery Club’s facilities, ensuring it remains a vital community hub for both seasoned archers and newcomers.
The upgrade will include the installation of new safety barriers, enhanced lighting for evening practice sessions, and the refurbishment of existing infrastructure to meet modern standards.
These improvements will ensure the club can host larger competitions and better training facilities for its members.
This investment is part of a broader commitment to supporting community infrastructure projects that enhance the quality of life for residents.
