Each submission was reviewed carefully, with the winners chosen based on the projects’ alignment with community needs and their potential to deliver long-term value.

This year’s Felton Grant recipients include: Isabella State School in Edmonton, Queensland; Footscray North Primary School in Footscray, Victoria; and Kawana Dolphins Rugby League in Buddina, Queensland.  

Jon Brienesse, secretary, Kawana Dolphins Rugby League shared “Kawana Dolphins Rugby League Club are as ecstatic as a Grand Final day win to receive a brand new Grandstand from Felton Industries, this will provide our parents, partners and friends to support their favourite team.”
