Caboolture Made is a celebration of Caboolture businesses, community groups, innovation and local spirit. It showcases the people and places that make living, working and playing in Caboolture so wonderful.
Local businesses are welcome to use the platform, including a Facebook page and the ‘Caboolture Made’ logo, to promote themselves. For all of us, it’s a great way to support our community by discovering amazing local businesses.
A steering committee has been formed, comprising Council, business and community interests.
One of the driving forces behind this exciting new initiative, Councillor Adam Hain, said the fresh brand for Caboolture came from a need to eradicate the historical negative stigma and replace it with 100% positivity.
“Statistics such as crime rate are far less than places such as Broadbeach on the Gold Coast, and Greater Caboolture’s positive stories far outweigh the negative,” Adam said.
“With unprecedented investment into Caboolture alongside Council’s Revitalisation Plan, now is the opportunity to celebrate the real news on this area.”
Other committee members agree that now is the time to take pride in our region, particularly the 8000 businesses in the area.
Advocate Carla Melbourne of Shine Lawyers said Caboolture and its surrounds were perfectly situated close to the coast, rural living and the city.
Shaping the Narrative Around Caboolture
“Caboolture is an ideal location to live, work and play. #Caboolture Made is about shouting out all the great things and businesses that make our community great,” Carla said.
Another main committee member, Vicki Wood, President of BPW Caboolture, said we could shape the narrative of our region and showcase the diverse talents and opportunities it holds.
“Just as we share glimpses of our lives on social media, it’s essential to amplify the stories of our local businesses,” Vicki said.
“I encourage you to engage with your fellow business owners, seize opportunities for collaboration, and share your success stories through Caboolture Made.”
