YBA History
A group of dedicated citizens of Yungaburra, who met on a regular basis, formed a Business Association in August 1995.
They felt that there was a need for an organization to coordinate community projects and with the aim to make Yungaburra a better place for all to live.
From there, the Yungaburra Business and Citizens Association was incorporated on 17th April 1997.
Objectives of our Association:
- To support the development of a profitable business base.
- To promote professional business practice with a strong consumer service focus.
- To provide networking opportunities for members.
- To support the development of a business base which reflects the overall values and objectives of the community.
