We are non-government, non-partisan and not-for-profit. Based in Gurambilbarra Townsville, on the lands of the Wulgurukaba and Bindal Peoples, we are North Queenslanders who live, work and play in this beautiful region and want to see it flourish for generations to come.
This edition of Paperbark is short and sweet, but don't get the idea things are slowing down around here!
In addition to the updates below, we are currently working on preparations for the next Environment Ministerial Roundtable, a mayoral candidates' forum, annual planning for 2024 (you can help by completing our supporter survey!) and plenty more.
We look forward to seeing you at our upcoming Week of Action with Move Beyond Coal, but if you're not in Gurambilbarra, get in touch and we'll let you know how to show your support!
Please enjoy the read, and take care in this heatwave.

In this edition:
On Saturday 18th November 2023, NQCC held our famous annual Trivia Night fundraiser, and as usual, it was a blast!
Nine teams converged on the Belgian Gardens Senior Citizens Welfare Association hall, with laughs at the ready and pockets full of cash.
