Check out our new threads! With thanks to Fraser Coast Regional Council grant funding, we were able to score these fabulous Trademutt Polos and brand them with the MCPAI logo. Now our volunteer team, look like a team!

This has been a long term project for MCPAI, to have our volunteers look not only very professional but also easily identifiable on our event days.

GO TEAM MCPAI!

On a side note - if you've ever thought about volunteering for a community organisation or helping out at some of the big events in the area, we'd love to hear from you! We're always on the search for more volunteers, with varied roles and opportunities available before, during and after events. Contact us today at [email protected]

Great news for the Maryborough City Progress Association! 🎉🎪

Thanks to Round 123 of the Queensland Government’s Gambling Community Benefit Fund, the Association has secured $35,000 to purchase a much-needed events trailer and equipment.

Jenelle and her dedicated team of volunteers were thrilled to hear the news—and it’s well deserved! This hardworking group is behind some of Maryborough’s most loved community events, including the Annual Easter Egg Hunt in Queens Park and the Christmas Street Party.

You won’t find a more tireless and community-minded group of people, and it was a pleasure to share the news that the Crisafulli LNP Government proudly supports grassroots organisations like this in the Maryborough Electorate.

Congratulations, Maryborough City Progress Association! 👏🎉
