Last Wednesday’s Home Hill Chamber of Commerce meeting proved an eye-opener for many in attendance, as local members gathered to hear from guest speakers Natalie Saroglia of the Burdekin Neighbourhood Centre (BNC), and Jenny Cummings of the Burdekin Shire Council.
Long-time BNC coordinator Saroglia opened the session, outlining the harsh realities of homelessness and unemployment in the local community, and the BNC’s role in addressing them.
Cummings then shared details of the upcoming Burdekin Shire Council Disaster Ready Trail, scheduled for Wednesday, 1 October 2025. The community initiative encourages locals to visit participating businesses, collect stamps, and go into the draw for prizes.
In other updates, Burdekin Shire Council Mayor Pierina Dalle Cort announced that Council has successfully refurbished the exterior of three graffiti-affected properties along Home Hill’s main street. Cr. Dalle Cort also confirmed that Council will proceed with plans to construct a new pump track in Ayr.
