The Burdekin Shire Council is the local government authority for a coastal rural region based in Ayr, Queensland. The Shire covers more than 5,000 square kilometers and supports roughly 17,000 residents, with forecasts indicating continued growth toward about 19,500 by 2031. The towns of Ayr and Home Hill anchor public services and contribute to a relaxed coastal country lifestyle.

Water resources are a central asset for the Shire, underpinned by the Burdekin River, a substantial underground aquifer, and the Burdekin Falls Dam, collectively contributing to drought-resilient water supply for communities and agriculture. The area's economy is rooted in agriculture, with about 80,000 hectares devoted to sugar cane and roughly 3,400 hectares used for horticulture.
