The Burdekin Shire Youth Council's 30th-anniversary celebration was a heartfelt tribute to three decades of empowering young people across the Burdekin. Founded in 1994 under then-Mayor Beth Honeycombe, the Youth Council has played a vital role in shaping the community, contributing to projects like the Anzac Park Skate Park, Burdekin PCYC, and Burdekin Aquatic Centre.
Council has also hosted memorable events, including the Mayor's Disco, Battle of the Bands, and the Fast Track Talent Showcase. Mayor Pierina Dalle Cort recognised its impact, stating, "For 30 years, the Burdekin Shire Youth Council has empowered our young people to contribute meaningfully to our community."
Attendees enjoyed light refreshments and shared in the celebration of the council’s achievements. Following the formalities, guests joined the Connect & Celebrate wellbeing event in the Theatre forecourt, marking a day of reflection and community spirit as the Youth Council looks forward to its future successes.
