Centre improvements

Major improvements to Samford RDA’s covered mounting area are on the drawing board following a $100,000 grant from the Queensland Government.

The Gambling Community Benefit Fund Queensland recently announced the funding to dramatically improve disability access, safety and use of the area which adjoins our riding arena.

The work involves rebuilding the mounting yard surface with a stabilising interlocking matrix, replacing the existing disability mounting ramp with a ramp that meets the latest access standards, adding additional horse stalls, and repositioning some gates, tie up rails and fencing.

We sincerely thank local MP Nikki Boyd and Councillor Cath Tonks for supporting our submission for funding. The Fund assists not-for-profit groups like RDA that are dedicated to providing services and opportunities for their communities; and the latest improvements to our centre will benefit both participants and volunteers
