Burdekin Shire Council has a policy of providing financial assistance to individuals selected for State or National representation. The type of assistance is aimed at assisting local juniors who have been selected for representative fixtures or partly assisting with travel costs. A scale of assistance has been established. Individual applicants must be residents of Burdekin Shire or full time students whose supporting parents reside in the Burdekin Shire.
An individual is limited to one grant per sport per financial year, unless selected for higher honours.
Applications may be submitted at any time.
