About MBDA
Murgon’s Chamber of Commerce, founded in 1917, later became the Murgon Business & Development Assoc. Inc. (MBDA).
  • Publishes Murgon Moments – 4,000 free copies distributed monthly across the South Burnett, Wide Bay and online.
  • Organises major community events including the Murgon Easter SpEGGtacular (formerly the Christmas Fair). New committee members are needed for this event to continue.
  • Introduced the Why Leave Town Murgon Gift Card in 2022 – a successful shop-local program supporting Murgon businesses.
  • Manages the Murgon QLD and MBDA Facebook pages plus this website, promoting local events, services and attractions.
MBDA is powered by passionate members who meet monthly to support each other and drive community growth. We welcome new and existing businesses to join our network—membership offers great value through connection, resources and support.

General and/or Management Committee Meetings are held monthly. Please check our Facebook page for meeting notices as at the moment we are trialling a variety of times and venues... including evening meetings, and 'Meet and Greet' informal type meetings at a member's venue. Meetings include the option of ordering a meal. We usually have a representative from the South Burnett Regional Council in attendance. Notifications for special guest speakers or topics for discussion must be sent to the Secretary before the meeting to be added to the Agenda. Our meetings have been getting a great roll-up of regular attendees over the past few years with lots of new faces. Those wanting to express a viewpoint on community or business matters are given the chance to speak and to be listened to. Open discussion is encouraged and decisions are made by the group as a whole. 
*Meeting notices are posted to our Murgon Business & Development Facebook page. You can also contact us at [email protected] if you would like to attend or to check on dates for the meeting.
