History
First formed in 1958 as the Woodgate Progress Association, the group aimed to foster community interest in Woodgate and to upgrade the town’s conveniences through better liaison with local government.
Over time, the association has evolved in structure and formed strong connections with local Council – formerly the Isis Shire Council and now the Bundaberg Regional Council – and fostered relationships with enthusiastic local volunteers.
During the 1990s, the WDRA and volunteers rebuilt and refurbished beach side shelter sheds and BBQs, laid more than a kilometre of paved walkway, and installed picnic tables and seats.
Today, the WDRA is active in sourcing State and Federal grants to improve community facilities in the town, including gardens and parks and the local Community Hall.
