"Funding of nine projects nominated by Council is an initiative of the Queensland Government, with the money coming 100 percent from the COVID Works for Queensland program," Mayor Baker said.
"This funding will support jobs and provide residents with a range of important community assets.
"Sporting groups and communities have been talking to their local Councillors about these projects and will be very excited to see they are now able to go ahead.
Mayor Baker said projects would be funded in Clairview, Clermont, Dysart, Middlemount, Moranbah, Nebo, and St Larwence and elsewhere on the Isaac coast.
