Recent severe weather events have had a significant impact on agricultural properties across the Burnett Mary region, with fencing damage affecting productivity, livestock management, and land condition. In response, support is being coordinated locally to help landholders recover safely and efficiently.
South Burnett Regional Council is hosting a community information session for farmers who require assistance with fencing repairs, with volunteers from BlazeAid attending to register properties needing support. This practical, on-ground collaboration reflects the strength of regional partnerships, bringing together council, community groups, and landholders to restore essential infrastructure and keep farms operating.
Rebuilding after natural disasters is not only about repairing fences — it is about strengthening the resilience of our landscapes, industries, and communities. By working together, we can help ensure recovery efforts protect both agricultural productivity and the health of our natural resources for the long term.
The session will be held on Saturday 28 March 2026, 6pm at the Murgon Men’s Shed, 75 McAllister Street, Murgon, with a free sausage sizzle provided. Landholders are encouraged to attend and register their interest in receiving support.
