Jo Gabiola’s Real Estate Journey

Jo Gabiola has been helping the Burdekin find their homes for over 15 years, and her dedication to the community shows in every aspect of her work. Born in Ayr but now situated at Alligator Creek, Jo still travels 40 minutes each way to meet clients, typifying the commitment that has made her a trusted local agent.

Her career in real estate has spanned more than a decade, but Jo’s connection with people started long before she held a license. She managed the Home Hill Co-Op, owned two Jo’s Gifts & Linen stores, and worked in finance—all roles that taught her how to listen, manage, and care for clients. “I’ve always enjoyed human interaction,” she says. “Before that, I was behind a desk in finance, but I’ve always loved talking to people every day.”

Jo has retired twice, yet her clients kept reaching out, bringing her back for a third stint under the Raine & Horne banner, a testament to her passion for real estate and the trust she inspires. Her knowledge of the Burdekin and surrounding areas allows her to track market trends and guide clients through buying, selling, or simply exploring the right property. Over her career, she has won numerous awards, namely “Top Sales Agent Nationally” and “Top Exclusive Listing Agent Nationally” for her exceptional work.

Her approach is personal and empathetic. A homeowner and investor herself, Jo understands the fear and uncertainty clients often feel. “I understand the struggles involved and the fear of wondering, ‘Am I doing the right thing?’ I can help you reach your goal,” she says.

Outside of real estate, family is central to Jo’s life. She and her husband John have been married for 45 years, with two children and five grandchildren. Sundays are reserved for family lunches, cooking, and chaos she wouldn’t trade for anything. “I do all the cooking, and they do all the eating! Some days it’s just bedlam, and I wouldn’t have it any other way,” she laughs.

With her experience, dedication, and genuine love for helping people, Jo Gabiola continues to be a cornerstone of the Burdekin real estate community, turning houses across the Burdekin into forever homes.

The Ayr Industrial Precinct is on the brink of completion, marking a major step forward in expanding business opportunities across North Queensland.

Burdekin Shire Council Mayor Pierina Dalle Cort said the precinct will be a key driver of economic growth and investment for the region.

“Council is thrilled to see the Ayr Industrial Precinct taking shape and nearing completion,” Mayor Dalle Cort said.

“This project represents a major investment in the future of the Burdekin, providing well-located, fully serviced land that is competitively priced to attract a diverse range of businesses.”

Stage 1 lots are now available, with pricing starting from $50 per square metre plus GST, varying depending on size and location. Flexible options are offered to suit a variety of business needs.

The Mayor said Council’s support for development extends beyond delivering strategic projects like the Ayr Industrial Precinct.

“At our meeting on 25 November, Council adopted a new Economic Stimulus Policy for Development Incentives to make investment in the Burdekin even more attractive,” she said.

The policy provides a consistent and transparent process for assessing applications for reductions in fees and charges, including infrastructure charges, which can be a significant cost for developers.

“By reducing costs and creating a competitive environment for development, Council is laying the foundations for a stronger local economy for current and future generations,” Mayor Dalle Cort said.

The policy aligns with the Burdekin Shire Council Corporate Plan 2025–2030, supporting business growth, innovation, and a sustainable economy.

Grace Pimpinella celebrated an extraordinary milestone on 22 November, surrounded by family
who travelled from Brisbane, Rockhampton, Gympie and Home Hill to honour her 90th birthday.
With a beautiful cake and a joyful gathering, the day was filled with laughter, memories, and deep
appreciation for a much-loved matriarch.

Born and raised in Stanthorpe, Grace moved to Home Hill after marrying her husband, Guiseppi
Pimpinella, with whom she shared a hardworking and devoted life on their Up River sugar cane
farm. Together they raised three children, later welcoming five grandchildren and sevengreat-grandchildren. Guiseppi, who passed away ten years ago, is lovingly remembered as part of her story and legacy.

Known for her kindness, resilience and warm heart, Grace has always been at the centre of her
family. She loved sewing clothes for her children and grandchildren, and alongside Guiseppi, grew
exceptional fruits and vegetables — winning numerous awards for her outstanding produce. Today,
she still delights in gardening, proudly tending to her plants. Earlier in life, she also enjoyed playing bowls and being part of the community.

Her family describes Grace as “the heart of our home,” a woman whose Italian cooking — tomato
sauces, lasagne, gnocchi and homemade pasta — has brought generations together around the table.
Her loved ones are deeply grateful for the love, wisdom and strength she continues to share. A
remarkable 90 years — and a truly remarkable woman.

After 13 Years of Growing, Learning, and Memories

The school bell rang out one last time for Burdekin Christian College’s graduating Class of 2025, closing the book on over a decade of classes, camaraderie and countless hours of homework.

The College celebrated them in style this month with a graduation ceremony at Populin's Hall and a traditional farewell on the school grounds. Both events saw smiles, tears and heartfelt farewells as the BCC community came together to send the graduates confidently into life beyond the school gates.

A Magical Send-Off for BCC Graduates

Populin's Hall doubled as the North Pole on Saturday, 15 November as BCC celebrated its graduating Class of 2025 with an elegant Winter Wonderland-themed formal graduation ceremony.

The theme, elected by this year's cohort, saw the hall adorned with the snowman Olaf, hanging icicles and snowflakes, gingerbread houses filled with ginger biscuits and sparkling trees, with the impressive cake by Naomi from Mix, Bake, Frost holding a personalised snowflake bearing each student’s name.

Students began the night with final photos at school before boarding the decorated BCC “Party Bus,” for a farewell tour of Ayr. Their grand entrance featured a choreographed routine to a mashup built around the song Beat It by Michael Jackson, a performance they had rehearsed over the preceding week.

The formal program included the presentation of senior certificates, with each student walked down the aisle by a significant other, gifted a rose, and recognised with awards. Teachers contributed meaningful tributes throughout the night, with principal Debra Creed delivering a speech likening each student to an orchestra, Mr Jensen sharing a poem connecting the cohort to a number of care bears, and Dimity Gleeson giving a special tribute to homeroom teacher Mrs Karen Wilson. Videos shown included a “Then and Now” photo montage and a farewell video featuring the whole school waving goodbye, with special student performances rounding off an emotional occasion for students, teachers and guests.

Stepping Boldly into the Next Chapter

In what was another emotional affair, BCC’s Year 12 cohort of 2025 gathered on school grounds for one final farewell last Friday, marking the end of 13 years of schooling. The day featured a traditional ceremony in the school hall, followed by a guard of honour and the final mortarboard toss, symbolising the transition from school life to the wider world.

Looking ahead, students are pursuing a wide range of pathways, with several having gained early entry into tertiary programs, including the Brisbane Conservatorium of Music, while others are taking up apprenticeships or local career opportunities.

Principal Debra Creed urged graduates to hold fast to their character as they take this vital next step into the world.

"I urge you to remember, while you are embracing change and growth, to stay true to your values, which are hopefully the values BCC have instilled in you during your time at our College," she told them. "Continue to show the belief in the inherent worth and dignity of every human being."

She encouraged the cohort to embrace their individuality and potential, adding, "You all have your own song inside you. Whatever your song let it out–never be scared to sing it. Celebrate life, take those chances, make the most of every moment.

"I know every Year 12 student has something amazing to contribute to the world and I can’t wait to see the positive changes you will make to our society."

One of the beautiful things about the Burdekin is that a global tourism hotspot sits just a two-hour drive south. I spent the back end of last week soaking up the sun and admiring the breathtaking coastal scenery of the Whitsundays, though that wasn’t the main reason for the trip.

Members of the Life Publishing Group, the company behind Burdekin Life and other North Queensland papers and magazines, came together in Airlie Beach for a day of training before attending the Whitsundays Business Awards, where our Whitsundays Life paper took out the Regional Game Changer category.

The award reflects the pride and care we put into all our publications. I haven’t worked for many community newspapers outside this one, but from day one it’s been clear that the company’s ethos is strongly community-driven, focused on providing high-quality, timely news with a warm, local touch.

It’s been a pleasure learning from a multi-award-winning team as I make my foray into the media world. I look forward to continuing that journey, not only for my own growth, but so the Burdekin can have the best paper possible. Hopefully, it won’t be long before we bring home our own awards.

The Burdekin Woodcrafts Association has been bringing the joy of woodworking to the community for more than 30 years, and thanks to a recent RACQ Foundation Resilience Grant, the club is now in a stronger position to continue its good work.

The Brisbane-based RACQ Foundation, which has distributed over $15 million since 2011 to more than 500 Queensland community groups affected by natural disasters and drought, provided the Association with a combined $20,500 grant after water damage from recent floods. The funding was used to paint damaged ceilings and walls and to replace roof sheeting, allowing the club to continue its community-focused woodworking projects.

The Association, located at 30 Little Drysdale Street, is home to around 35 members who meet each Wednesday and Saturday morning to work on personal projects or community commissions. Members repair tables for local events, craft bespoke furniture for customers, and teach workshops, including upcoming wood turning and band saw box classes.

The Burdekin Woodcrafts Association welcomes anyone aged 18 and over to attend three free sessions before joining. Membership is $80 per year, with a $10 joining fee.

“All the money that comes in goes back into the club, like repairs or buying wood or equipment,” Merv said. “We just love what we do.”

For those looking to learn, create, and give back, this is the perfect opportunity to get involved.

Positive steps have been made towards improving the safety of a notorious intersection in the
Burdekin, however Member for Burdekin Dale Last has emphasised that everyone has a role to play when it comes to safety on our roads.

After extensive community consultation Mr Last said proactive measures and tackling the matter from all angles would provide the missing pieces needed to pave a pathway towards a solution for concerns faced at the Giddy Road- Bruce Highway intersection.

“An increase in traffic over recent years has seen the Giddy Road- Bruce Highway intersection
become notoriously dangerous with drivers often witnessing near-misses or at times having to be first responders to traffic accidents,” Mr Last said.

“The installation of a traffic monitoring system at the intersection is a positive step towards securing information and data necessary to advocate for upgrades.

“Every time we witness a near-miss incident on our roads we are reminded of the potential dangers and the loss of life that could have occurred. By taking proactive steps in addressing road safety concerns we are ensuring we're not waiting until a family is mourning the loss of a loved one before we take action.”

Mr Last said the complex nature of the Giddy Road intersection meant all areas of government and the community needed to play their part in ensuring the safety of all road users.

“As part of the proactive measures, I have also applied for the intersection to be considered for funding under the next round of the Federal Government’s Black Spot program,” Mr Last said.

“Anyone can nominate a road or intersection to be considered for Black Spot funding and, if the project meets the criteria and is selected by the panel, infrastructure upgrades can be committed
to.”

“As a former police officer I know first-hand the wide-spread impact fatal accidents have on
communities, from the first responders at the scenes to the families and friends left behind. By taking these actions it means that we're not left waiting for a fatality to occur before we see real action and investment on our roads.”

Opinion Piece From Federal Member for Dawson Andrew Willcox

Most Australians will eventually be touched by the reality of old age. Many of us will one day, if not already, require assistance in our later years. Older Australians have done their fair share and deserve the dignity of reasonable, affordable aged care, should they require it.

Older Australians have paid their taxes, fought in wars, raised generations, built and run
businesses, farmed our lands and pushed this country forward. They’ve contributed for
decades, and now that it is their turn to be looked after, the current Labor government has
abandoned them.

Australia is facing an aged care crisis that cannot be ignored. Since Labor came to office in
2022, pressures across the sector have severely worsened. Staffing levels are not keeping up
with the growing number of older Australians, and aged care beds are simply not being made
available. This past financial year, only 578 new beds came online nationally. That is only around 5% of the at least 10,600 required just to keep pace with growing demand.

In Queensland, just 26 new operational aged care beds were made available in 2024–25.
Twenty-six! There are more beds on display at Harvey Norman. At this rate, the “No Vacancy”
sign will be switched on at aged care facilities right across the country in the blink of an
eye. Recent reports show that, at current rates, full occupancy will be reached in under three years.

When this government came to office, Anthony Albanese promised to put the “care” back into
aged care. Yet its priorities seem more focused on climate change posters than on people. The
Prime Minister was willing to spend at least $1 billion to host COP31, but won’t invest
meaningfully in aged care. Turkey will now host the summit, but the fact that the government
chased the event while crying poor over aged care funding says it all. Health leaders and state governments are calling for about $1 billion just to stabilise the sector. Here’s an idea: redirect the COP31 money to aged care.

Anthony Albanese also promised 24/7 nursing care for aged care residents. Where are the extra
nurses? Even with high immigration levels, this government can’t find enough skilled workers to support our older Australians. Understaffed and under-resourced facilities are at breaking point.

Workers are expected to do more with less, and the pressure only shifts to our already strained hospitals. Elderly Australians remain stuck in hospital beds far too long, waiting for aged care spots to open up.

This crisis is not only about older Australians. It also impacts their families, their carers, and the decisions they face. Entering aged care is hard enough without government incompetence making it harder.

With our population ageing faster than ever, we need a government focused on ensuring the
right facilities, staff, and plans are in place to meet this rapid increase in need.

If Labor truly believes in “putting the care back into aged care,” then it’s time to prove it. Australia’s seniors deserve more than excuses. They deserve action, and they deserve the funds to flow to the right areas. I call on the government to re-evaluate its funding priorities and put older Australians at the front of the care line.

The festive season in Burdekin is set to sparkle once again, with the 2025 Burdekin Christmas Carols returning on Sunday, 14 December 2025, at Wickham Street, Ayr, beside the PCYC. Families and friends are invited to gather for an evening filled with music, holiday cheer, and community spirit.

The evening will feature a visit from Santa Claus, a fireworks spectacular, free face painting for the kids, and a variety of food stalls to keep everyone fuelled while enjoying the entertainment.

This year’s program promises a fresh twist, curated by local arts enthusiast Monica Licciardello, who has put together a lineup showcasing Burdekin’s incredible local talent.

“We’ve got some surprises in store and a lineup that celebrates the incredible local talent we have right here in the Burdekin. It’s going to be a night to remember,” Mrs Licciardello said.

Mayor Pierina Dalle Cort said the carols are a highlight on the Burdekin calendar, bringing the community together in a celebration of the season. She also acknowledged the support of Bendigo Community Bank Home Hill and Ayr, which returns as the naming rights sponsor for the event, helping make the evening possible and supporting local festivities.

Residents are encouraged to mark their calendars and enjoy a night of festive fun, music, and community connection, making memories to carry through the holiday season.

Council is inviting local food and drink vendors to get involved, with expressions of interest due by Wednesday, 19 November 2025.

The Bowen Pipeline Company (BPC) has recently received confirmation from the Queensland Government that its formal approval process can proceed, following the lodgement of its Ministerial Planning Application in 2024. Director Sean Brown confirmed the project has strong backing from the Deputy Premier, and construction could begin early next year if water allocations are secured in the next few months.

For the Burdekin, the pipeline represents a major local economic driver. During construction, 200 jobs will be created, rising to 1,200 full-time positions once the project is operational. Local workers, businesses, and suppliers from Ayr, Home Hill, and surrounding areas will play a key role in supporting the pipeline, from materials to accommodation.

The 182-kilometre pipeline will deliver secure, high-quality water from the Burdekin River to Bowen township, Gumlu, and Guthalungra, providing a reliable supply for the region’s farms, which grow one-fifth of Australia’s vegetables. This water security will allow local growers to expand production, diversify crops, and invest in new ventures such as legumes, chia, and macadamias, while also supporting aquaculture by reducing reliance on expensive desalination.

The project also supports broader regional growth. The Bowen Pipeline will feed the Abbot Point Green Energy Export Hub, enabling ammonia, green hydrogen, bioenergy, and fertiliser production, while strengthening Burdekin’s position as a centre for agriculture and green industry. Traditional Owners hold equity in the project, marking an Australian first and reinforcing local participation in the region’s economic future.

BPC is committed to sustainability and community integration. Advanced HDPE pipe technology reduces truck movements by five million kilometres, cutting emissions and construction costs, while solar power and green hydrogen will support operations. Local councils and landowners are closely involved, ensuring the pipeline benefits the wider Burdekin community.

For Burdekin residents, growers, and workers, the Bowen Pipeline signals a new era. It promises reliable water, stronger local jobs, and a boost to the region’s economic and environmental future. With state approvals imminent, the countdown to construction is officially on.

Burdekin Shire Council is celebrating a remarkable achievement this week, with local trainee Nicole Cervoni being named TAFE Queensland Business Trainee of the Year. The prestigious award recognises outstanding dedication, professional growth and excellence within the vocational training sector, and Nicole’s success places her among the very best trainees in the state.

Each year, Burdekin Shire Council offers a variety of traineeships across multiple departments, giving local residents the opportunity to gain valuable qualifications, workplace experience and pathways into long-term employment. These programs play a vital role in strengthening the region’s future workforce and ensuring that important skills are developed locally.

The traineeship program is proudly funded by the Queensland Government through its Skilling Queensland for Work initiative, which supports Queenslanders in gaining practical skills and securing meaningful employment. Nicole’s success stands as a testament to the impact of this initiative and the opportunities it creates for people in regional communities.

Burdekin Shire Council has expressed immense pride in Nicole’s achievement, commending both her professionalism and her dedication to learning.

“Congratulations, Nicole! Your hard work and commitment have truly paid off,” a Council spokesperson said.

Nicole’s award is not only a personal milestone, but a proud moment for the entire Burdekin community—one that highlights the talent and potential thriving within the region.

Burdekin Chamber's annual Christmas Street Party Returns

The Burdekin is decking its halls—and its streets—on December 18, as Ayr’s iconic Queen Street doubles as the North Pole for the Burdekin Chamber’s annual Christmas Street Party.

For the afternoon and into the evening, traffic will make way for market stalls, food trucks, and live entertainment, with performers to be announced closer to the date. Santa is also expected to make a special appearance, spreading some early Christmas cheer.

"It's all about the community spirit," said Chamber Executive Member Jenny Papale. "[The Chamber members] all just wanted something festive for our family and friends to come and enjoy. It's a great thing for our community and we're excited for it to happen."

The Burdekin Chamber, hosts of the event, is itself embracing the spirit of giving with over $30,000 in prizes. This includes a major prize of vouchers worth up to $10,000, redeemable at a range of local businesses, with second through fifth prizes also consisting of vouchers valued at $4,000, $3,000, $2,000, and $1,000 respectively. An additional ten bonus draws will feature items such as a car fridge, chest freezer, rug, and jewellery. Shoppers can enter the draw by purchasing from participating local businesses in the lead-up to the event, earning more tickets as their spending increases.

The support of local businesses has been crucial in supplying prizes and helping organise the event, Papale said.

"The amount of [business] interest has far outweighed our expectations... we thought we'd get around 50 [businesses] onboard, but we've doubled that," she said.

Chamber President Seb Aguirre attributes part of this influx to Home Hill businesses coming on board, something he hopes continues as a trend between the two towns long after the Christmas spirit fades.

"Home Hill joining us is a big plus for us," he said. "It's always been segregated, but now... we just need to work as one."

The Burdekin Bridge Group celebrated a major milestone this week, hosting their first-ever bridge competition at the Burdekin Neighbourhood Centre against members of the Townsville Bridge Club.

Although the group has only been running for 10 months, nerves quickly gave way to excitement as players faced off in a friendly but competitive environment. The atmosphere was supportive and encouraging, with participants enjoying the experience and the chance to connect with others.

Bridge, a strategic card game requiring teamwork, communication, and concentration, proved the perfect way for players to challenge themselves while building connections. The Burdekin Bridge Club, initiated by Sylvia van Rossum, began as a simple idea and has grown into a thriving weekly activity. Now, the group meets weekly, offering member the chance to sharpen their minds while making new friends as the group continues to welcome newcomers.

Natalie Saroglia, Co-Ordinator of the BNC, said the Neighbourhood Centre is excited to have helped create and grow the Burdekin Bridge Club.

"The Bridge Club has become a great place for people to connect with others, learn new skills, and make new friends," she said. "As a community-focused organisation, we love partnering with local residents to turn their ideas into reality. By working together, we can make our community stronger and create lasting opportunities for everyone.”

Anyone interested in joining this friendly community initiative is encouraged to drop by the Burdekin Neighbourhood Centre on Tuesday mornings or contact the Centre for more information.

Burdekin residents and cycling enthusiasts are being invited to ride for a cause with the launch of the 2026 Ravenswood to Burdekin Gran Fondo, a community-focused event aimed at raising awareness for men’s mental health. The announcement coincided with International Men’s Day, highlighting the importance of supporting men in regional and rural communities.

The Gran Fondo, often called the “big ride,” will see more than 200 riders and volunteers come together on Saturday, 18 April 2026, to promote connection, wellbeing, and community spirit while also supporting ultra-cyclist Allan Jefferson’s solo attempt at the Race Across America in 2026. Riders will have a choice of three distances, with the event finishing in Burdekin with food, music, and family-friendly activities.

Selectability Chief Operating Officer Aaron Farrell said the timing was intentional. “Men account for three out of four suicide deaths in Australia. The risks are even in regional, rural and remote areas and we want to change that, he said.

"The 2026 Gran Fondo is a great way to bring the community together, start the conversation, and encourage people to seek the support they need.”

Selectability’s BikeSheds provide inclusive spaces for locals to connect, work on projects, join group bike rides, or simply chat over a coffee. Loosely based on the Men’s Shed concept, they aim to help regional Queenslanders overcome loneliness and improve mental wellbeing.

Team Jefferson lead Allan Jefferson said the partnership with selectability’s BikeShed initiative was a natural fit. “We get to combine our passion for cycling with a cause that is very close to our hearts. This ride is about checking in with each other, reducing the stigma around mental health, and riding with a purpose,” he said.

Workplaces and community groups are encouraged to register teams, with a portion of proceeds supporting Conversations About Suicide, a life-saving course for those helping someone in distress. Registrations are open at teamjefferson.com.au and selectability.com.au.

It’s that time of year when our students are closing one chapter and opening another. As they finish their high school journey, proud parents look on with heartfelt pride and maybe a tear or two as their children receive awards and celebrate achievements. Where has the time gone?

Congratulations to all our students, no matter which road you choose next. Your future is bright, and we are proud of you!

Recently, the 2025 North Queensland Tourism and Events Awards were held in Townsville. While the Burdekin was unsuccessful this year, it was a fantastic evening celebrating many outstanding businesses across our region.

On Tuesday, we came together for the 16 Days of Activism Candlelight Vigil, a powerful reminder of the importance of standing united against domestic and family violence. Thank you to everyone who attended and showed support for this vital cause.

Super Waste Sunday is just around the corner on 7 December 2025. Let’s all make a big effort to tidy up before cyclone season begins every little bit helps keep our community safe and beautiful.

As we approach the festive season, I encourage everyone to support the Mayor’s Christmas Tree Appeal. Residents are encouraged to donate non-perishable food items, as these are the most vital contributions and have the greatest impact in supporting families in need. Donations can be dropped off at the Ayr and Home Hill Libraries and the Burdekin Shire Council Chambers by 3:00pm Friday 12 December 2025.

For those who prefer to make a donation of cash or gift cards, the Burdekin Neighbourhood Centre will be accepting these contributions directly.

Should you wish to reach out, don’t hesitate to contact me directly by phone at 0447 150 582, or feel free to send an email to mayor@burdekin.qld.gov.au.
