BIEDO was established in 1996 by Burnett local governments, community and industry activists concerned about the impact of drought on our region.
We are a grassroots, fully independent, not-for-profit organisation working to build resilience and provide support to businesses and individuals within rural communities.
BIEDO encompasses the North and South Burnett regions, delivering into every community and district, no matter how small or remote. We drive proactive, positive responses to change, and create opportunity from adversity focussing on finding practical solutions to the issues facing our communities. Our network and collaboration with Councils, local service providers and community organisations enables BIEDO to deliver effective programs and much-needed services within our region.
