Last week’s Burdekin Chamber of Commerce meeting drew one of its largest crowds in recent memory, as local business owners kick-started their Thursday morning with coffee, conversation and community planning.
Proceedings were led by Seb Aguirre of ELA Solutions, who steered discussions towards one of the year’s most anticipated highlights—the Burdekin Christmas Street Party.
The agenda sparked plenty of lively debate, particularly around logistics such as preferred dates, potential road closures and whether Queen Street shopfronts should remain open during the festivities. While some members were keen to showcase local businesses, others raised concerns following last year’s disappointing turnout, which was hampered by heavy rain.
Despite differing views, the overall mood was upbeat, with members eager to breathe fresh life into an event that has long been a hallmark of the region’s festive season. Organisers are hopeful that with a strong line-up of stalls, live entertainment and food vendors, this year’s celebration will draw crowds back in true Burdekin fashion.
With planning now well underway, the Burdekin Christmas Street Party promises to deliver plenty of festive cheer—and, hopefully, a dry evening.
