State Member for Morayfield, Mark Ryan MP, was joined by Pumicestone MP, Rick Williams, in hosting a successful Sports & Recreation Funding Information Forum in Morayfield on Monday 10 August 2015.

Mr Ryan said that there was a good turnout of interested sporting and recreation groups from the local area who were interested in learning more about the State Government's sport and recreation funding opportunities.
