Networking, collaboration, mentoring and opportunities will be the focus of new monthly business breakfasts hosted by Bundaberg Regional Council.
Each monthly breakfast event will have a specific theme and will be trialled for the remainder of 2023.
The aim of the events will be to assist local businesses learn from, and network with, each other, along with providing a forum for businesses to get updates on various trends and opportunities available in the region.
The schedule of breakfasts, which kick off on 21 March, follow on from the recent signing of the Small Business Friendly Organisation Charter by Council, the Queensland Small Business Commissioner and local chambers of commerce.
The monthly business breakfasts will:
- demonstrate Council’s support for local businesses
- provide a forum for Council to positively promote local business networking and learning
- demonstrate Council’s commitment to building Australis’s best regional community by engaging local businesses in Council industry programs and initiatives
Following the trial, set to end in December 2023, Council will assess the success of the initiative.

Hi, I am a local Architect recently moved from Sydney to Walkervale. Every morning I walk my dog along Bourbong Street and as an Architect I am very interested in the built environment of Bundaberg especially along the main street. What I have noticed about the buildings along the main street is that there are many beautiful facades dating back to the late 1800’s. However, many of the facades have been badly damaged by the indiscriminate erection of large signage that totally destroy the streetscape e.g. Sollys Rivers and King Kong Sales signs are particulaly ugly and are an eyesore. Can BCC please look at controls for street signage along Bourbong Street.
Barry, being close to a senior person of the town, born and bred, if you know where to look behind some of the “decorations” there are still some of the cast iron street name plates in existence that are hidden from view. some are hidden beneath layers of paint, but a rust stain gives them away. the architecture of what was and is now in a way deplorable. If I said to young ones where was Bob Frazer, a hairdresser, strongly associated with the early Moore Park Life Savers, had his barber’s chair, none could tell you. Mrs. Higgins probably would know. There was a gentleman, little younger than me, was once taking street photos recording changes. I don’t know what has become of him.
good luck in your quest ……. this issue was raised about 30 years ago, without success !
