Community Partnership Program
STRONGER TOGETHER
A thriving economy and happy community doesn’t happen in isolation….it’s built by people, powered by community, and strengthened through collaboration.
At Bundaberg Tourism, we recognise the vital role that community, sports and volunteer-led organisations play in shaping the spirit and experience of our region.
Our Community Partnership Program brings this collective energy together, formally recognising organisations who share our values and are committed to contributing to a stronger, more connected Bundaberg and North Burnett Region.
This is about alignment, shared purpose and working as one region to deliver meaningful outcomes for our communities and our visitor economy.
What this means
for you
- Be recognised as a Bundaberg Tourism Community Partner
- Strengthen your impact through regional collaboration
- Connect with other organisations doing meaningful work
- Stay aligned with regional priorities and opportunities
- Have a seat at the table shaping a stronger, more connected region
How to become a
community partner
Community Partners may:
- Be invited by Bundaberg Tourism; or
- Submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) at any time.
What the EOI involves
The EOI is a short application designed to help us understand your organisation and explore how we can work together. We’ll ask about:
- Your organisation’s purpose, structure and volunteer base
- How you contribute to the Bundaberg and/or North Burnett region
- Examples of collaboration or partnership with others
- Your commitment to a whole of region approach
- Alignment with our values, Code of Conduct and destination priorities
All EOIs are assessed against clear criteria to ensure the program remains fair, transparent and focused on delivering meaningful regional outcomes.
What happens next?
If successful:
- Community Partner status is offered for 12 months
- A simple formal recognition agreement (MOU) is put in place
- We’ll connect through quarterly check‑ins to share ideas, collaborate and strengthen alignment.
Partnerships are reviewed annually to ensure they remain active, values-aligned and mutually beneficial.
Interested?
If you’re passionate about the region and believe in the power of working together, we’d love to hear from you.
