Arts, Culture and Heritage

From the mountain peaks to the waters deep, the South Burnett is an untapped natural wonderland. Our local stories, history, creativity, landscape and cultural heritage are just some of the key strengths of the region which continue to make it a popular destination for visitors and new residents.  

As a Council, our role is to provide leadership through advocacy, promotion and development maintenance of the region’s arts, cultural and heritage resources.

Council has setup an Advisory Committee (the Committee) to support the regional arts, culture and heritage activity in the South Burnett region.

The South Burnett Arts, Culture and Heritage (ACH) Committee provides the South Burnett Regional Council with:

  • leadership to the sectors through advocacy, promotion and development/ maintenance of Council's arts, cultural and heritage assets;
  • identifying and responding to community needs through strategic planning;
  • assisting with local coordination of art culture and heritage activities;
  • assisting in the stimulation of the arts, culture and heritage-based enterprises;  encouraging collaboration across sectors;
  • and managing and displaying Council's art and heritage collections across its facilities

Chair

Councillor Danita Potter
