Queensland’s push to kick-start a domestic biofuels industry could unlock significant new opportunities for the Burdekin’s sugarcane sector, according to CANEGROWERS CEO Dan Galligan. Mr Galligan welcomed the Crisafulli Government’s recent $25 million investment into biodiesel production at Ampol’s Lytton Refinery in Brisbane, describing it as an important first step towards building a stronger and more resilient economy while paving the way for future growth across regional industries. “While this project may not directly involve sugarcane, it’s an important step in establishing the kind of industry that, with the right investment and policy settings, can unlock significant opportunities for cane growers,” Mr Galligan said. Queensland’s sugar industry has long advocated for the expansion of a domestic biofuels sector, with the potential to significantly increase ethanol production, generate more green electricity through sugar mills and eventually produce advanced biofuels such as sustainable aviation fuel. With the Burdekin recognised as one of Australia’s largest sugar-producing regions, Mr Galligan said local growers could play a major role in helping power Queensland’s renewable fuel future. “This is about more than cleaner energy – it’s about building a stronger, more resilient economy, creating new markets for growers, adding value to every tonne of cane, and backing regional jobs and investment,” he said. “It’s also about fuel security. Recent global disruptions have shown how exposed Australia is to supply shocks, and building a domestic biofuels industry helps reduce that reliance.” Mr Galligan said ensuring sugarcane remained central to future biofuel production would be critical to delivering the industry at scale and strengthening long-term opportunities for regional Queensland communities. The announcement comes amid growing national discussions around fuel security, regional manufacturing and reducing Australia’s reliance on imported fuel supplies. In recent weeks, the Queensland Government announced plans to strengthen the State’s fuel security through expanded local drilling, refining and storage capacity, including unlocking additional infrastructure opportunities at ports across Queensland. Official expressions of interest have also opened under the new Accelerating Fuel Infrastructure Program, inviting industry proposals for fuel refining and storage projects on government-owned land and ports in Townsville, Mackay, Gladstone, Abbot Point, Bundaberg and Brisbane. Member for Burdekin, Minister for Natural Resources and Mines and Minister for Manufacturing Dale Last said the focus was now on future-proofing the industry and creating long-term opportunities. "We know what the challenges are and I’m looking at the opportunities going forward, because that's where we can make the greatest change and get the most benefit," Mr Last said. Federal Member for Dawson Andrew Willcox said recent fuel shortages had exposed critical gaps in Australia’s fuel storage capacity, particularly for regional and agricultural communities. “This crisis has exposed Australia’s vulnerability to global supply shocks of critical liquid fuels, including in Dawson,” Mr Willcox said. “We must protect our economic foundations by scrapping the Safeguard Mechanism costs on refineries and lifting the minimum stockholding obligation. This is the only way to ensure that during global disruptions, our tractors keep moving and our supermarket shelves stay stocked.” CANEGROWERS said it would continue working with government and industry partners to ensure momentum in the biofuels sector translates into practical outcomes for growers and regional communities across Queensland.

Queensland is seeing a surge in construction apprenticeships, with the State Government claiming new figures show progress in addressing long-standing workforce shortages impacting major infrastructure and housing projects across regions including the Burdekin Shire. According to the Government, more than 10,000 new apprentices have begun training across Queensland so far this financial year, including almost 3,000 in construction trades — representing a 27.4 per cent increase in the sector. The State has also recorded a high number of apprenticeship completions in 2025, with nearly 13,000 Queenslanders now qualified and ready to enter the workforce. The increase comes as Queensland continues to prepare for a major pipeline of infrastructure and construction projects in the lead-up to the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, alongside ongoing demand for housing and regional development. Minister for Finance, Trade, Employment and Training Ros Bates said the figures were encouraging but acknowledged more work was still needed to address workforce shortages. “Labor left us a skills shortage with a predicted peak the size of an empty Suncorp Stadium but there are promising signs we’re getting the workforce back on track and building a pipeline of tradies who’ll help deliver our generational infrastructure program,” Minister Bates said. “We are delivering the initiatives and incentives to draw more young Queenslanders into trades and taking the CFMEU’s boot off the construction industry’s throat so future workers feel safe going to work. “Whether it’s infrastructure for the 2032 Games, health projects or the thousands of homes we’re unlocking for Queenslanders, we are building the Queensland of the future and creating the pathways for anybody who wants to help us do so.” The government said programs like the free Career Taster initiative through TAFE Queensland are also helping introduce Year 10 students to priority industries including construction and healthcare.

Simon Hood Wilmar Manager Grower Marketing The completion of 2025 season pricing has once again shown just how important it is for growers to have a clear pricing strategy in place when markets become volatile. Over the past few years, growers have experienced some of the biggest price swings seen in recent seasons. Those using long-term pricing strategies had opportunities to lock in prices above $600/t at different points throughout the pricing window, while prices also spent periods trading much lower. It has been a reminder that sugar markets can move quickly and unpredictably, influenced by everything from global supply and demand to oil prices, currencies, and geopolitical events. Different pricing approaches delivered different outcomes this season. Some growers benefited from taking pricing opportunities over a longer period, while shorter-term pricing options were more exposed to weaker market conditions later in the season. Importantly, it reinforces that no single pricing mechanism will outperform every year. One of the clearest lessons from the 2025 season is the value of diversification. Spreading pricing decisions across different timeframes and mechanisms can help reduce risk and avoid relying too heavily on trying to pick the “top” of the market. Having a disciplined approach and staying engaged with pricing opportunities over time can make a significant difference to overall returns. The strong performance of the Managed Pool Plus this season also highlighted the benefits of having a dedicated and actively managed pricing strategy working on behalf of growers through changing market conditions. With this in mind, nominations are now open for the 2027 Season Managed Pool Plus. The pool was designed to help growers navigate volatile markets by spreading pricing decisions across a longer timeframe and combining disciplined risk management with active market oversight. Following the positive outcomes achieved in the 2025 season, interest in the 2027 pool is expected to be strong. Growers wanting to better understand their pricing options, risk exposure and payment choices are encouraged to speak with the team about which approach may best suit their business goals and appetite for risk. 2025 season Sugar Swap prices highlight the volatility experienced by growers over the past three-and-a-half years.

After over a year of repair and preparations, Burdekin’s beloved Stardust Drive-In Theatre softly relaunched last Friday, 9th May, reopening its gates for the first time since Cyclone Kirrily devastated the site in January 2024, with locals flocking back to the community icon that has served the region for over 60 years.
Devastation struck early last year as the cyclone tore through the area, toppling the drive-in’s iconic screen and leaving the venue in ruins. Despite the challenges, Stardust’s team remained determined to rebuild the venue. "The power of nature took our screen, but it couldn’t dampen the spirit that defines us,” read a post published to their Facebook page.
The reopening was highly anticipated by the public, with the venue long serving as a beloved spot where generations of locals have gathered to enjoy films under the stars.
“I have amazing memories of the Stardust,” said one community member.
The soft-launch on Friday was met with enthusiastic support, with locals pouring in to see a screening of the brand A Minecraft Movie, starring Jack Black, for the price of just $12. The concessions also offered up a range of snacks and beverages to enjoy with the film.
The venue also features an indoor cinema, giving movie lovers the choice between watching under the stars or in the cosy comfort of an indoor setting. An 18-hole mini-golf course is also on-site, ensuring there’s plenty of fun to be had before the opening credits roll.
Excitement is building as the community favourite sets itself to officially relaunch with a bang on the 24th of this month. For showtimes, updates and more, visit Stardust’s website or Facebook page.

Stella Borellini leapt out of her comfort zone last year when she accepted a nomination to represent the Burdekin Academy as a Junior Ambassador in 2024’s Burdekin Water Festival.
With new friendships, community focused experiences, and a new sense of self-confidence, Stella’s journey as a Junior Ambassador was nothing short of rewarding, and she hopes many others will take to the opportunity.
“A message I would like to share with aspiring Ambassadors is that it may seem daunting to participate in these sorts of things, however it’s not,” shared Stella.
“This commitment was the highlight of my year as it was a delightful, heartwarming, feel good experience and one word I would use to describe the Burdekin Water Festival experience is phenomenal!”
Over the course of approximately four months, Stella and her fellow Junior and Senior Ambassadors engaged in a plethora of community-based activities and fundraising events for various organisations and charities.
“My favourite memory from the 2024 Burdekin Water Festival was definitely the Fashion Parade because it was something I had never done before,” expressed Stella.
“You can just be yourself and have fun with all the other Ambassadors!”
In September of last year, Stella was celebrated as the 2024 Burdekin Water Festival Junior Ambassador Runner Up, a title she accepted with joy and will treasure for years to come.
With the crown aside, Stella’s mother, Allison Borellini, was beyond delighted to see how much her daughter grew from her experience as a Junior Ambassador, adding how amazing it was to see Stella involved with so many wonderful events and people.
“Stella thoroughly enjoyed her time as a Water Festival Ambassador and it introduced her to taking part in fundraising efforts for her club, the Burdekin Academy, and what it means to give back and be involved with your community,” Allison said.
“Her confidence skyrocketed when it came to public speaking and talking with various people throughout the Burdekin community, and as a parent, it can be busy but your club will be behind you every step of the way and it is an extremely rewarding experience.”
A five-year regional initiative has wrapped up with a lasting legacy of 187 newly qualified Water Industry Workers and Treatment Operators across North Queensland, including several from the Burdekin.
The Water Industry Worker Program (WIWP), first launched in 2019, was developed to address the growing need for skilled water industry professionals across regional Queensland. Delivered by training specialists Simmonds & Bristow, the program began as a pilot with five councils: Mackay, Townsville, Whitsunday, Cairns and the Burdekin.
Simmonds & Bristow trainer Liz Millan said Burdekin’s participation in the pilot program helped shape what would grow into one of Queensland’s largest-scale training efforts.
“I had been talking to Townsville City Council about a Water Industry program since around April 2018,” Ms Millan said.
“Despite lots of discussions throughout the year for North Queensland training clusters, it amounted to nothing as the councils struggled to consolidate their needs.”
By September 2019, training in Townsville had officially begun. Participants from the Burdekin trained locally on the same infrastructure they would eventually work on, ensuring their learning was directly relevant to their future roles.
Following the pilot’s success, the program expanded to 11 councils across the state, running for five rounds and achieving a 90% completion rate.
Burdekin Shire Council’s continued involvement demonstrated the region’s commitment to investing in a skilled, local workforce to manage critical water and wastewater infrastructure.
The program has not only strengthened council capabilities but also provided long-term job security for regional workers, cementing Burdekin’s part in a statewide success story.

The Queensland Police Service (QPS) have made more than 4,200 youth arrests and laid over 18,000 charges in the first quarter of 2025 as part of an intensified crackdown on youth crime.
While no individual breakdown was provided for the Burdekin district, nearby areas including Townsville and the Mackay - Whitsunday region reported 464 and 59 youth arrests respectively, further suggesting youth crime remains a pressing concern for North Queensland communities.
The State Flying Squad, backed by $32.4 million in government funding, was deployed 22 times into crime hotspots between January and March, focusing on repeat youth offenders in both regional and metropolitan areas.
Premier David Crisafulli said the results mark the beginning of a new chapter in restoring community safety.
“Stronger laws, more police, early intervention and rehabilitation are all part of the fresh start for a safer Queensland,” Premier Crisafulli said.
Police also conducted over 12,000 wandings under Jack’s Law, seizing 112 deadly weapons in the process. Amendments have been introduced to make Jack’s Law permanent and expand police search powers further.
Locally, Burdekin residents are being urged to continue reporting suspicious activity and to stay engaged with community crime prevention initiatives.
“Queenslanders deserve safety and police deserve support, and we are delivering on both to turn the tide on Labor’s Youth Crime Crisis,” Minister Purdie said.
Members of the community are able to report crime information anonymously via Crime Stoppers by calling 1800 333 000 or reporting offences online at www.crimestoppersqld.com.au.
The Ayr Railway Station once stood as a bustling hub of life and transport in the Burdekin. Trains rolled in and out, carrying passengers, goods, and countless stories, many of which remain close to the hearts of local families today.
Though quieter now, the station still holds a special place in our town’s history. It was more than just a stop along the tracks it was where soldiers said goodbye, families reunited, and cane was carted to market.
What are your memories of the Ayr Railway Station? We’d love to hear your stories, whether it was catching your first train, farewelling a loved one, or simply watching the locomotives roll through town.
Send your reflections and photos to editorial@burdekinlife.com to be featured in an upcoming piece celebrating this treasured landmark.

In the midst of another busy day at North Queensland Green Solutions Ayr, Rach and her dedicated team counted their 50 millionth container at the Ayr Depot, marking a mammoth milestone.
Celebrating with a deliciously extra special cake, the team took a moment to reflect on the amazing work they have all achieved for the Burdekin community in the way of supporting local sustainability and statewide recycling initiatives.
“To my recycling superstars, I’m so incredibly proud of you all – it takes a very special team to be able to achieve numbers like you do day in, and day out - you are all such amazing humans, and I’m so blessed to be on this journey with you,” shared Rach.
“To all our customers in the Burdekin, thank you so much for your support – without it we couldn’t reach 50 million!”
Since the Containers for Change initiative launched in November of 2018, over 10 billion containers have been returned for recycling across the state, returning more than $1 billion to Queenslanders pockets.
As part of the scheme, most aluminium, glass, plastic, steel and liquid paperboard beverage containers between 150ml and 3L are eligible for a 10-cent refund at local container refund points statewide.
Once the containers are collected, refund point operators sort them into material types before they’re transported for processing and recycling by accredited recyclers to be transformed into something new again.
More information on the Queensland Government initiative is available online at www.containersforchange.com.au.
“Cheers to 50 million, and 50 million more!”
