Mayor Of the Burnett Shire Council
 

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the greatest shire, in the greatest state, in the greatest country in the world! And this website is just one of the many reasons why visitors come to this region and never want to leave. 

There is an increasing acknowledgement of the access requirements that many Australians face within their own community and travelling and this region is proud to be actively addressing these needs. 

 

It is important that organisations such as the Bundaberg Regional Access Advisory Committee identify these issues and ensure that Council and local business are developing in accordance with these special requirements.

As the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef, the Coral Coast is home to many unique natural attractions. These include the annual migration of whales cruising our coastline and the nesting and hatching of Loggerhead turtles on Mon Repos beach. Come in and visit the new accredited information centre at Bargara where you can exclusively book your unique turtle experience.

Our Coast provides a diverse range of experiences, from our charming untouched natural hinterland to picturesque sandy beaches of soft rolling waves, stretching from Coonarr Beach in the south to the sleepy fishing village of Winfield in the north. 

This website is a great asset to the region and encourages all – regardless of ability- to stay in this region and enjoy the friendly facilities that we have to offer. I hope that you too will take the time to discover the Bundaberg and Coral Coast and find out why we are proud to call this region home
