Pipeline Project Supports Local Community

Burdekin Netball Association (BNA) has secured the sponsorship of Bowen Pipeline Company (BPC) with a cheque being handed over on Thursday, May 30.
BPC is the company behind the proposed Bowen Pipeline Project to connect Bowen with the Burdekin River, and BPC Director Sean Brown said the majority of the project’s 41 investors come from the Burdekin and Bowen shires.
“This project is about leaving a legacy so that children and families can stay in these two regions,” Mr Brown said.
“We feel the Burdekin is a wonderful place for kids to grow up and supporting the local netball club is a really positive thing for us to do to benefit the community.”
BPC has also sponsored Bowen Netball Club and Aboriginal Saltwater Arts Community and plans to increase sponsorship in the future should the project gain the necessary ministerial approvals.
“Our goal is to increase our annual sponsorship, but everything is subject to us obtaining our ministerial endorsement hopefully in the next month or two,” Mr Brown said.
BNA Sponsorship Coordinator Glenys Brotto thanked Mr Brown and BPC for its sponsorship.
“BNA are very appreciative of BPC’s support of our association, and we wish them all the best in their project,” she said.
