Ready Together Day 2026

Miles, get disaster-ready with your community this September with Ready Together Day, a FREE family friendly event featuring live entertainment, activities, food and drinks, and a special visit from the the Minions Henry and James.

The Western Downs has experienced its fair share of wild weather over recent years, which is why it's crucial residents play their part in ensuring their homes and families are as prepared as possible.

To support residents to get ready, Council is partnering with Shell QGC and local emergency services and support agencies to host Ready Together Day. With a variety of entertainment available throughout the day, attendees will also have the opportunity to gain face-to-face advice from emergency services and supporting agencies to prepare for the impacts of severe weather, and learn about the various support options available before, during, and after a disaster event. 

Food and drinks will be available for purchase.
