Did you know that the Burdekin Shire Council continues to work to support the Burdekin as a vibrant visitor destination, offering a mixture of sporting, cultural, natural and leisure based experiences?
Located on the Bruce Highway, the Burdekin is fortunate to have many visitors including those travelling in caravans passing through our towns daily.
Council has implemented a number of priorities and actions in the 5-year Burdekin Tourism Strategy, which was adopted in 2018. One of the key priorities of the strategy was to further develop the Sweet Days Hot Nights Festival into a significant destination event for the Burdekin. The Burdekin is the Sugar Cane Capital of Australia and this festival celebrates the people, produce and culture of the Shire.
To help grow awareness of the Shire as a visitor destination and to showcase what is on offer, Council promotes the Burdekin through a variety of platforms including social media, Visit Burdekin website, and marketing and advertising campaigns.
Burdekin Shire Council operate two Visitor Information Centres (VICs), where visitors can get friendly advice and information on the district. Local businesses can also join the VICs as members and enjoy benefits such as displaying their product information, networking events, workshops, newsletters and website listings.
The VICs are manned by a wonderful team of passionate and dedicated volunteers who welcome visitors to our region. Council is always looking for new volunteers to join the team. The centres are open 7 days a week and volunteers are given the opportunity to participate in famils, workshops, social outings and create new friendships. Those interested in volunteering can contact Council’s Tourism Officer on 4783 9800.
I am sure many Burdekin Life readers will have visiting friends and relatives over the Christmas and New Year period and I invite you to call into the one of our VICs or visit our website visitburdekin.com.au to find out more on what the Burdekin has to offer.
