Mount Gravatt Girl Guides will receive a full kitchen refurbishment as part of a Queensland-wide upgrade program for local Scouts and Girl Guides facilities.
Funding Announced After Government Program Release
The investment highlights the group’s role in serving families in the area and supporting young people through weekly activities and community events. The funding forms part of the Games On grassroots infrastructure program, which the state confirmed in late November. The program directs support to ten community groups across Queensland.
Along with Mount Gravatt, the upgrades include improvements for Moggill Girl Guides, Kenmore District Girl Guides, six Scout groups and a Scout camp. The program aims to strengthen youth organisations that offer safe spaces for learning, leadership and social connection.
Focus On Community Facilities
The refurbishment at Mount Gravatt will replace an ageing kitchen that is used for meetings, weekend activities and community gatherings. The upgrade will improve safety and support volunteers who help run programs for local girls.
The government described the broader package as an investment in safe, functional and accessible facilities that help young people develop new skills and confidence.
Support Extends To Other Local Groups
Moggill Girl Guides and Kenmore District Girl Guides will also receive infrastructure upgrades to support their local programs. Scout groups in Helensvale, Dayboro, Aspley, Moggill, Karana and Kenmore, along with Seeonee Park Scout Camp in Rockhampton, will benefit from facility repairs, accessibility works or new equipment.
While these upgrades vary between locations, each project aims to support young people, volunteers and community users.
Emphasis On Youth Development
Officials said the improvements will help youth organisations deliver safe programs and continue their work in developing leadership and resilience. Girl Guides Queensland stated that upgraded facilities support teams of volunteers who run weekly activities and help girls build confidence, teamwork and life skills.
The groups expect the refurbished spaces to encourage higher participation and create more opportunities for local events.
