Local not-for-profits celebrate $1 annual storage opportunity
Published 19 September 2024
Six local not-for-profit organisations in Deception Bay have secured a much-needed space for their operations, thanks to City of Moreton Bay.
Council has granted these groups new leases for storage, set at just $1 per year for the next 5 years - a huge boost for their ongoing community work.
The local organisations who will benefit from the leases are:
- Lighthouse Centre Deception Bay Ltd
- Deception Bay Neighbourhood Centre Inc.
- Rotary Club of Redcliffe Sunrise Inc.
- Caboolture Orchid Society Inc.
- Brisbane Vintage Auto Club Inc
- Redcliffe Environmental Forum Inc.
Mayor Peter Flannery said he’s thrilled to support these local not-for-profits who deliver fantastic activities and initiatives in the Moreton Bay community.
“Securing the right space at the right time and cost can be a real challenge,” he said.
“That’s why I’m so proud to announce that we’ve recently upgraded a storage facility in Deception Bay, which will now serve as a new home for 6 incredible community organisations.
“Even better, we’ve removed the cost barrier entirely, offering the lease for just $1 a year - making it as easy as possible for these groups to continue their great work.
Councillor Sandra Ruck (Div 5) said from providing emergency support and environmental conservation to helping vulnerable residents, promoting orchid cultivation, and restoring vintage vehicles – these organisations do remarkable work in our community.
“Groups like these are the heartbeat of our community. Together, they foster community connection, sustainability, and support,” Cr Ruck said.
“I’m proud that Council can offer these organisations generous lease terms, allowing them to invest their funding where it matters most - into their members, activities, and events,” Mayor Flannery added.
