Business Info
The Burdekin Shire Council covers an area of approximately 5,053 square kilometres and is bordered by Townsville City Council to the north, Charters Towers Regional Council to the west and Whitsunday Regional Council to the south.
The Council has its origins back in 1888 when the Ayr Divisional Board was formed. On April 1 1903, all Divisions became Shires under the Local Authorities' Act of 1902 and the Council of the Shire of Ayr was created. In 1982 the name was changed to Burdekin Shire Council to more accurately reflect the geographic area covered by the Council.

The Burdekin Shire Council is committed to working with the community to create an inclusive, welcoming, and healthy environment that offers a high quality of liveability for residents that is underpinned by a productive and diverse economy.

Beautiful beaches, great fishing spots, delicious cafes and restaurants and abundant sporting and community clubs combine to make the Burdekin a wonderful place to live.
