📢 EVENT CANCELLATION – BUSINESS DISASTER MANAGEMENT WORKSHOP

Please note that the Business Disaster Management Workshop, scheduled to take place in Mission Beach on Thursday 5 November, has been CANCELLED.

With cyclone season now upon us, preparing for severe weather and potential disruptions remains an important priority for local businesses and residents alike.

🌴 BUT THERE'S ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO GET PREPARED!

The Mission Beach Community Association (MBCA) is holding its annual Cyclone Preparedness Meeting next week, and everyone is welcome to attend!

📅 Tuesday 10 November 2026
🕕 6.00pm
📍 Mission Beach Resort, Wongaling Beach

Stacey, who was scheduled to present at the cancelled Business Disaster Management Workshop, will also be attending the MBCA meeting.

A little preparation now can make a big difference when severe weather strikes!

💙 Please help spread the word about the workshop cancellation and encourage your friends, neighbours and fellow business owners to come along to the MBCA meeting.

🏖️ Our beaches are getting a facelift ahead of severe weather season!
CCRC have moved around 16,000 cubic metres of sand along 2.4km of coastline at the northern end of Mission Beach to help restore the beach and rebuild protective dunes.

Their crews are now at Wongaling Beach, with South Mission Beach next followed by Bingil Bay, Cowley Beach and Etty Bay in the coming months.

🌱 The Council nursery and local conservation group C4 have also been busy growing native coastal plants, ready for planting soon to help stabilise the dunes and protect our foreshore.

📸 Check out the before and after photos!

These works are jointly funded by the Australian and Queensland Governments through the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA).
