## What is the project?

The department's Round 2 funded projects list describes it this way:

> The project will upgrade key community venues in Jundah, Stonehenge, and Windorah with energy-efficient LED lighting and essential electrical upgrades. The project will enhance the usability and functionality of these important community hubs, reducing operational costs, improve energy efficiency, and support a wider range of social, sporting, and tourism-related activities. These upgrades will also extend the operational hours of these venues, allowing more comfortable evening events in a region where high daytime temperatures limit activity.

Applicant, location, state and funding are also from that list ([page 9](https://www.infrastructure.gov.au/sites/default/files/documents/growing-regions-program-round-2-funded-projects-september-2025.pdf#page=9)).
