Our Venue Sponsor – Bayswater Bar & Grill 

Perched right on the water, Bayswater Bar & Grill is a favourite among locals and visitors alike – and it’s easy to see why. The à la carte menu is packed with flavour, the pizza and gelato bar hits the spot every time, and the cocktails? Best enjoyed ice-cold on the verandah as you take in the view across Hervey Bay. There’s something here for everyone – weekend entertainment, a fully equipped gaming room, TAB and KENO, and plenty of room to relax with friends or family. Swing by and see why Bayswater Bar & Grill is one of Hervey Bay’s go-to dining destinations. We can’t wait to welcome you.

Supporting Local Charity – We Care 2 Community Care

We Care 2 has been supporting people across the Fraser Coast for more than two decades, providing practical help to locals experiencing financial hardship, food insecurity and challenging circumstances. What began as a small food assistance service has grown into an organisation now supporting more than 700 individuals and families each week through a range of vital community programs.

From their low-cost food centre and emergency relief to free counselling and community breakfasts, We Care 2 provides support with dignity, compassion and a genuine understanding of what local people need. Their work relies heavily on community support, and there are plenty of ways local businesses and individuals can get behind them — through donations, sponsorship, volunteering and ongoing support.

A local organisation making a very real difference. Together, we can make a difference.
