🌺 SAVE THE DATE | PALM ISLAND SPRING FESTIVAL 2027 🌺

Following the incredible success of the 2025 Palm Island Spring Festival, Council is excited to announce that this deadly community event will now be held every two years.

While we'd love to celebrate at this scale every year, an event of this size takes significant planning, resources and community effort. Moving to a biennial festival will allow Council to continue delivering a high-quality event that showcases the very best of Palm Island, our culture, our people, our talent and our community spirit.

While there won't be a Spring Festival in 2026, we are already looking ahead to an even bigger and better event in 2027!

📅 SAVE THE DATE
Palm Island Spring Festival 2027
24 & 25 September 2027

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the 2025 festival such a success.

Together, we created something truly special and we can't wait to do it all again in 2027.

🌿 Have Your Say on Environmental Health! 🌿

Palm Island Aboriginal Shire Council is encouraging all residents to have their say on the environmental health issues that matter most to our community.

Environmental health is about keeping our community healthy and safe by reducing risks from our environment and promoting healthy living for everyone.

Your feedback will help Council understand local concerns and develop an Environmental Health Plan that reflects the needs of Palm Island.
