Know Your Burb website goes live
The inspiration for council’s newest free online resource, “Know Your Burb” came from residents’ efforts to exercise during lockdown.
Inspired by the wave of home turf discovery, council recreated a web platform that details the locations of assets in an easy-to-navigate, searchable map format.
knowyourburb.com.au is launching in time for the school holidays.
Residents are invited to drop by any of the following park activations to grab some free Know your Burb merchandise – including frisbees – learn all about this exciting new web platform and enjoy a sausage sizzle (Saturday only).
Launch locations include:
Canecutters Drive Park, Ooralea
Monday, June 28, 9am to 10.30am
Nell Baker Park (Marian)
Friday, July 2, 9am to 10.30am
Field of Dreams Park, Sarina
Tuesday, July 6, 9am to 10.30am
Northview Park, Glenella
Saturday, July 10, 9am to 10.30am
Know Your Burb is an initiative of Mackay Regional Council and is supported by the Queensland Government and the North Queensland Sports Foundation.
