Burdekin Shire Council invites all community members to come and celebrate a whopping 30 Years of the Burdekin Shire Youth Council on Saturday 12 October from 3:00 pm.
Reflecting on the last three decades, the Burdekin Shire Youth Council has played a pivotal role in providing a voice for young people from all high schools and townships in the Burdekin, and often guide Council’s decision making around matters related to youth.
The Burdekin Shire Youth Council was founded in 1994 under the leadership of then-Mayor Beth Honeycombe and has continued to thrive under the guidance of Council’s Community Development department.
Over the years, the Youth Council has played a pivotal role in a range of community initiatives, including the development of the Anzac Park Skate Park, the establishment of Burdekin PCYC, and the Burdekin Aquatic Centre.
The Youth Council has also been behind a series of successful events such as the Mayor's Disco, Battle of the Bands, and most recently, the highly popular Fast Track Talent Showcase.
Mayor Pierina Dalle Cort said this has been the longest consecutive running Youth Council in North Queensland.
“For 30 years, the Burdekin Shire Youth Council has been empowering our young people to contribute meaningfully to our community,” Mayor Dalle Cort stated.
“This celebration is a chance to recognise the contributions of Burdekin’s youth and to look forward to the continued success of the Burdekin Shire Youth Council.”
Light refreshments will be provided at the event, for catering purposes please secure your free tickets at https://www.trybooking.com/CVHUD .
