Welcome to the Burdekin Shire Council

Whilst the crushing season has not even ended yet, preparations for the 2019 Sweet Days, Hot Nights Festival are already underway.

Home Hill stalwart Doug ‘Chippo’ Chappell and a large group of dedicated volunteers planted nearly one hectare of purpose-grown sugarcane last month- more than seven months out from the event.

“We’ve had a lot of people that were very interested in helping, which is a good thing. It was a real community effort,” Mr Chappell said.

Last year, more than 5,000 locals and visitors flocked to the Home Hill Showgrounds across two days to take part in the rebranded festival.

Burdekin Shire Council Mayor Lyn McLaughlin advised those not wanting to miss the 2019 festival to mark their calendars.

“Festival-goers can hear the roar of the First Fire on Thursday 30 May and witness the power of the Australian Hand Cane Cutting Championships on Saturday 2 June,” Cr McLaughlin said.

“The Sweet Days, Hot Nights Festival celebrates what’s great about our region- from our rich agriculture to country hospitality, combined with great music, paddock to plate food, cultural activities and family-friendly entertainment.”

Local businesses are once again being invited to bring the festival to life, with a range of sponsorship opportunities available.

The sponsors of the 2018 event have already been contacted and have until Friday 7 December to return their sponsorship forms. A second round will then open on Wednesday 12 December for any remaining sponsorship opportunities.

Cr McLaughlin said there may be opportunity for further events to be added to the festival in 2019, with Council actively seeking funding opportunities.

“We want to cement the Sweet Days, Hot Nights Festival as a feature festival throughout Queensland.

“There’s not too many other places in Australia you can see the raw power of a sugar cane up close and feel the heat on your skin.

“The Sweet Days, Hot Nights Festival is a uniquely Burdekin event.”

Burdekin star swimmer Michelle Scott has returned from the 2018 Pan Pacific Masters Games on the Gold Coast with 10 more additions for her already full trophy cabinet.

Mrs Scott, who competed in the maximum allowable 12 events last week, walked away with six gold and four silver medals, and broke four state records- two of which were her own. She also broke four Pan Pacific Games records and created one games record.

However, the decorated athlete, who has been competing in the masters competition since 2012, was a late entrant in the 2018 games.

“I only decided probably two months before I went to Pan Pacs that I’d actually go. I was a bit unsure of whether I’d go and just kept swimming because I like it for fitness. The deadline for nominating kept getting closer, and I thought I might as well,” Mrs Scott said.

The achievements are particularly remarkable as the games experienced a record number of entrants this year, with 571 male and female swimmers competing in the pool.

Burdekin Shire Council Mayor congratulated Mrs Scott, who also works at Council, on her extraordinary achievements.

“Achieving competitive success in any sport is always a tough endeavour, however to win so resoundingly across the board is extremely inspiring.

“On behalf of Burdekin Shire Council and the community, I congratulate Michelle on her accomplishments.”

Cr McLaughlin said she was pleased that Council could offer quality training facilities for swimmers in the Burdekin Shire.

“Having an Olympic sized pool is such an asset for a shire of our size and allows our swimmers to train competitively.

“Council staff and contractors worked incredibly hard over the past few months to ensure the Ayr pool only suffered minor disruptions when a major leak was detected in early September.

“They did a brilliant job, with the pool only closed for a few weeks before the September school holiday period.

“I commend them on their work, which means swimmers can now take full advantage of the facility as we head into summer.”

Meanwhile, Mrs Scott said she hasn’t yet decided whether she’ll compete in the games in two years’ time, and to ask again in August 2020.

The Voice star René Le Feuvre has been announced as the headline act for this year’s Community Christmas Carols, happening on Sunday 9 December at Watson’s Green, Home Hill.

20-year old Le Feuvre, who grew up in the Burdekin before moving to the Gold Coast, rose to prominence on this year’s season of Channel Nine’s The Voice.

The talented singer impressed judges with his heartfelt rendition of I Like Me Better by Lauv, impressing coach Boy George enough to turn his chair and select Le Feuvre for his team.

Since then, he has performed at major events including the Sweet Days, Hot Nights Festival and the Transplant Games opening ceremony.

Le Feuvre said “I’m super excited to come back to the Burdekin and perform as part of the 2018 Community Christmas Carols. I really love being in North Queensland, and I know this will be a fun night for everyone involved.”

Nine News Adelaide reporter Reece D’Alessandro, who also grew up in the Burdekin, will MC the evening.

Burdekin Shire Council Mayor Lyn McLaughlin said Le Feuvre and D’Alessandro will light up the stage alongside other Burdekin talents, including singers Jasmin Delle Baite and Amaia Licciardello.

“The Burdekin Community Christmas Carols has previously had some big performers, and this year is no exception,” Cr McLaughlin said.

“More than 40 local dancers, singers and musicians will join in the celebrations on stage.

“Council continues to support home grown talent, as we always do, and are excited to see René and Reece return to where it all began.”

The fun-filled community event will include:

• Free face painting;
• Photo booth;
• Market stalls;
• Children’s lantern parade; and
• Performances by groups including KHDance, Perform Music Choir and Rhythm Edge Dance School.

Cr McLaughlin said children can also expect visits from Christmas Minnie and Mickey Mouse and of course Santa Claus.

The Burdekin Community Christmas Carols is supported by the Burdekin Advocate, Burdekin Church Leaders Association and Burdekin Shire Council.

Council will help expose iconic Burdekin events to a wider audience from 2019 by funding the development of a dedicated Destination Events Calendar.

This calendar, which will be separate to Council’s Community Events Calendar, will focus on showcasing the region’s hallmark and unique events.

Burdekin Shire Council Mayor Lyn McLaughlin said Council had acknowledged the need to focus on event diversification and development in order to grow the local visitor economy.

“In August of this year, Council adopted the Burdekin Tourism Strategy, which established a road map for unlocking the region’s tourism potential and for unlocking sustainable opportunities across the region,” Cr McLaughlin said.

“In preparing this strategy, it was discovered that in 2017 only 28% of visitors to the Burdekin stayed longer than one day.

“We have so many great, quirky, unique and exciting events happening throughout our Shire every year.

“We want to show potential visitors that there are plenty of great reasons to stay overnight in the Burdekin.”

The calendar is being created as part of a wider purpose-built tourism website designed to drive visitors to the region.

“Not only will Council promote hallmark events through the Destination Events Calendar on Council’s impending tourism website, we will also produce flyers, brochures and many other documents which will be available at regional expos and Visitor Information Centres, reaching thousands of potential visitors.”

Cr Lyn McLaughlin said all businesses, community groups and sporting groups who stage events in the Burdekin are encouraged to submit their event for consideration.

Initial closing date for applications to be considered for the online Destination Calendar of Events and physical documents is Monday 26 November, however applications may be accepted after this date for the online calendar only. Applications are available from Council’s website www.burdekin.qld.gov.au or by emailing.

Council is also helping local tourism vendors improve their digital marketing by hosting two Australian Tourism Data Warehouse (ATDW) workshops on Thursday 29 November.

The ADTW is Australia’s national tourism database and distribution platform which represents over 40,000 small and medium sized tourism products and destinations.

This platform then feeds to State and Territory Tourism Organisations’ consumer websites, the Australia.com website and through ATDW’s extensive network of over 200 tourism distributors.

Council’s workshops will explain how to effectively list events or products through the ADTW website.

Workshops will be held at Council Chambers (145 Young Street, Ayr) at 10am-11am and 5:30pm-6:30pm on Thursday 29 November.

To register for either of these workshops emailwith your preferred session time.

Due to the Home Hill Harvest Festival Grand Parade and corresponding road closures, the Home Hill Pool will be closed from 5pm on Saturday 10 November.

Artists in the Burdekin region are encouraged to apply for a share in Round One of the 2018-19 Regional Arts Development Fund, which opens on Monday 5 November.

The Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) is a partnership between the Queensland Government and Burdekin Shire Council to support local arts and culture in regional Queensland.

Past Burdekin RADF projects include writing workshops, crystal glaze workshops, art exhibitions, visual arts professional development and school concerts.

Burdekin Shire Council Mayor Lyn McLaughlin said RADF grants helped get meaningful artistic projects off the ground.

“The pool of funding for 2018-19 is $43,000, with $30,000 of that being contributed by Arts Queensland and a further $13,000 by Burdekin Shire Council,” Cr McLaughlin said.

“RADF provides critical funding for local artists, enabling them to realise their artistic visions for the benefit of the local community.”

Queensland Arts Minister Leeanne Enoch said investing in creative and cultural experiences through RADF strengthened regional communities, boosted cultural tourism, and enhanced the quality of life in rural and remote towns and cities.

“RADF is a unique partnership between the Queensland Government and Burdekin Shire Council to support local talent, unite communities and celebrate the arts across the state.

“The Queensland Government, through Arts Queensland, is contributing $2.08 million in 2018-19 in partnership with 58 councils state-wide to help deliver cultural experiences which align with local priorities,” Ms Enoch said.

Successful applicants will be determined by the Burdekin RADF committee, which is made up by Council and Community representatives.

Applicants can apply for up to $500 for Developing Individual Skills and up to $5,000 for all other application categories.

Priority projects for 2018-19 are:

• Applications which increase participation of priority communities including children and young people, people from culturally and linguistically diverse community, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and people with disabilities;
• Applications which invest in cultural and community programs; and
• Skills development and mentoring for artists and arts workers.

Round One will open on Monday 5 November and closes at 5pm on Monday 26 November.

Application forms are available from Council’s website www.burdekin.qld.gov.au.

Council is seeking expressions of interest from stall holders for the 2018 Community Christmas Carols, to be held on Sunday 9 December.

As space is limited, only Christmas themed stalls will be considered.

Stall holders will be required to provide their own tents (3m x 3m), equipment and preferably lighting. There will be limited power supply and lighting available.

To obtain an Expression Of Interest form, contact Council’s Community Development section on (07) 4783 9800.

Expressions of Interest forms and public liability certificates are due by Friday 9 November.

Council’s men and women in hi-vis are busy repairing roads, upgrading parks, constructing pathways and improving parks throughout the Shire as they endeavour to complete several major capital projects before Christmas.

The reconstruction of a one kilometre section of Hodel Road and the reseal of 12 urban streets are some of the projects Council’s dedicated outdoor staff are busy working on this month.

Teams are also putting the finishing touches on the construction of more than one kilometre of pathway along Seventh Avenue in Home Hill.

Burdekin Shire Council Mayor Lyn McLaughlin said “This 2.5m wide pathway, which runs from beyond Nineteenth Street to Fourteenth Street, will provide a safe dual purpose route for pedestrians and cyclists to access the Home Hill CBD and schools, and provides opportunity for residents to increase their levels of physical activity through walking, jogging or riding.”

Council is undertaking these projects as part of its $16.6 million investment in capital works and renewals allocated for 2018/19.

Cr Lyn McLaughlin said the massive effort is not out of character for the outdoor staff.

“Our team do a wonderful job all year round, and especially in these hot and humid conditions.

“The work they undertake continuously improves facilities throughout our shire for the benefit of all our residents.

“On behalf of our entire community, I thank them for all they do.”

Meanwhile, Burdekin Shire Council Manager Works Wayne Saldumbide says staff are already preparing for a big 2019.

“Some of our major projects next year include replacing the playground equipment at Alva Park, and the construction of the Nature Based Play Space in Plantation Park as well as the establishment of the mobile Visitor Information Centre.

“It’s an exciting time to be living in the Burdekin.”

Four Burdekin SES members have been recognised for their long serving contributions to the Queensland State Emergency Service (SES) at the SES Week Awards Presentation in Townsville on Saturday.

John George, Mario Vardanega, Barbara Beckett, and Robert Sutcliffe each received a Meritorious Medal clasp for their periods of service (15, 25, 20, and 40 years respectively) to the Queensland SES.  Mr Sutcliffe, Local Controller for the Burdekin region, also received a National Medal clasp for 35 years of ongoing diligent service.

In addition to the long service awards, Ayr Group member Bradley Hutchinson received an SES Week Award for his special contribution to the SES through his outstanding work, dedication and strong moral character.

Burdekin Shire Council Mayor Lyn McLaughlin congratulated each of the members for their awards, which were presented on the first day of national SES Week (20 – 28 October 2018).

“SES Week is an opportunity for the community to recognise and thank the Queensland SES for the invaluable service they perform,” Cr McLaughlin said.

“Queensland is the most disaster prone state in the country and consequently, the role played by SES members is critical to the recovery of our region in times of emergency and disasters.

“We are incredibly lucky in the Burdekin to have more than 40 SES members who are ready and willing to provide assistance.

“On behalf of Burdekin Shire Council and the community, I would like to congratulate Mario, Barbara, John, Robert and Brad on their remarkable achievements.

“I would also like to thank each and every SES volunteer for their contribution to keeping Queenslanders safe.

“To help raise awareness of the invaluable role the State Emergency Service plays in our community, Council has turned the Ayr CBD fountain orange for SES week.”

With approximately 6,200 active and unpaid members, the Queensland SES performs a diverse range of functions to respond to local, state and national disasters and emergencies.

Members are trained and equipped to help their communities across a range of functions, and their primary purpose is to assist the most vulnerable members of the community.

Burdekin SES Deputy Controller John Winn said more members were being sought leading up to the wet season.

“We’re trying to encourage more people to join,” Mr Winn said.

“Anyone from the ages of 16 through to 70, its no real issue as long as they’re reasonably fit and able to get out into the community and help out.”

Mr Winn said members received nationally recognised accredited training to equip them to deal with the challenges of the role.

“We encourage people to come along and join. The more members we can get, it’s greatly appreciated.”

The engagement of a new green waste contractor by Burdekin Shire Council is changing the way locals dispose of rubbish throughout the shire.

Mayor Lyn McLaughlin said thanks to a new tub grinder machine, locals now had the ability to dispose of logs and stumps at four of Council’s transfer and waste stations.  This service is currently not extended to the Clare facility.

“Previously, large logs over 300mm in diameter could only be accepted at our Kirknie Landfill Station for a small fee,” Cr McLaughlin.

“Council is happy to announce that Burdekin residents can now dispose of large logs and stumps at all of our major transfer stations and landfills for free.

“Council also welcomes residents to help themselves to the resulting mulch which will now be created.”

Burdekin Shire Council Director of Infrastructure, Planning and Environmental Services Nick Wellwood said a second machine is also able to break down large pieces of concrete and mattresses.

Mr Wellwood said he expected the move to have a positive impact on the amount of bulky waste entering landfill in the Burdekin.

“Previously, a single mattress could take up anywhere from 0.5m2 to 1m2 in landfill,” Mr Wellwood said.

“Now, these mattresses will be reduced to small pieces and any scrap metal will be separated and recycled.

“Additionally, the machinery will break down stockpiled concrete into smaller 20mm pieces and remove any steel reinforcement.

“This concrete can then be reused by Council in carrying out road works or used as engineering fill.

“This means we’re spending less money on purchasing materials as well as reducing the amount of waste entering landfill.”

Residents can dispose of mattresses at any of the transfer stations for a nominal fee of $5.

The changes to waste disposal methods have been implemented ahead of the introduction of a Queensland-wide waste levy next year.

Under the proposed Waste Levy legislation, which is expected to commence on 4 March 2019, commercial waste would incur a levy of $70 per tonne.

The levy should not have any direct impact on households.
