The Burdekin Community Association (BCA) has received a boost in its ongoing efforts to support local residents, with Burdekin Shire Council confirming its annual donation of $40,400.
Deputy Mayor Max Musumeci presented the donation at BCA’s Annual General Meeting on 23 September 2025, recognising the organisation’s vital role in providing essential services across the region.
Mayor Pierina Dalle Cort said the contribution reflected the Council’s strong partnership with BCA and its long-standing commitment to the community.
“The Burdekin Community Association provides a lifeline for many residents, offering everything from housing and emergency relief to aged care and community wellbeing programs,” Mayor Dalle Cort said.
“Council is proud to continue its annual support to ensure BCA can keep delivering these critical services to those who need them most.”
For more than 40 years, the Burdekin Community Association has been a cornerstone of support for residents, offering programs across aged care, housing assistance, domestic and family violence services, volunteer coordination, and broader community support.
Council’s ongoing partnership with BCA ensures that these services remain accessible to those who need them, now and into the future. By sustaining this collaboration, the Council continues to strengthen the social fabric of the Burdekin region, helping families and individuals navigate challenges and access vital resources.
The annual donation is a tangible demonstration of local government working hand-in-hand with community organisations to keep essential services alive and thriving in Burdekin.
