🌧️ Disaster Impact Surveys 🌧️

The Queensland Government is asking small business owners and primary producers affected by recent weather events to complete a short disaster impact survey.

📝 Your feedback helps the State understand what assistance Queensland businesses and primary producers need after a disaster. All information you provide is confidential.

🏪 Small Business
If your small business has been impacted, please complete the disaster impact survey to let the State know how the event has affected your operations.

🚜 Primary Producers
If your property or agricultural activities were affected, please complete the primary producer disaster impact survey to share your experience.

🔗 You can access both surveys here:

🎁 Giving back is better when you do it together 🎁

Our Dawson Mine team has once again shown what community spirit truly looks like, rallying together with other local businesses to again support the Vinnies Christmas hamper drive.

Plenty of festive heart went into building each hamper, helping bring a little relief and a lot of kindness to local families doing it tough this festive season across Moura and Theodore.

As the cost of living continues to rise, the need grows each year — and so does the generosity of our people.

We’re proud to play a small part in supporting families in our region. A small act, shared together, with real impact 🎄
