Local Manufacturers Invited to Roundtable

Local manufacturers will have the opportunity to engage directly with the Queensland Government as the Hon. Dale Last, Minister for Manufacturing, participates in a roundtable discussion on the industry's challenges and future opportunities.

The roundtable, hosted by Burdekin Shire Council, will take place on Friday 28 March 2025, from 12:30pm to 2:00pm at the Ayr SES Building, 4 McCathie Street, Ayr. A virtual option will also be available for those unable to attend in person via Microsoft Teams.

Burdekin Shire Council Mayor Pierina Dalle Cort encourages local manufacturers to take advantage of this unique opportunity to share their experiences directly with the Minister and learn more about the State Government’s initiatives to support the sector.

"Manufacturing is a critical industry for the Burdekin and broader North Queensland region, providing jobs and driving economic growth," Mayor Dalle Cort said.

"This roundtable is a chance for our local businesses to have their voices heard at a State level and contribute to shaping policies that support industry growth."

Participants will have the opportunity to share their challenges and experiences with the Minister and gain insight into the Queensland Government’s plans to support the manufacturing sector.

A light lunch will be provided for attendees. Registrations are essential and must be completed by Wednesday, 26 March 2025, via www.trybooking.com/CZYGI.
