Tamborine Rodeo
With rising cost of living pressures, increasing interest rates, and broader global uncertainty, many families and businesses are facing financial strain. These conditions are significantly impacting event attendance and the cost of delivering large-scale events, which is evident with other major event closures across the country.
Organisers determined that proceeding in April would require either passing increased costs onto attendees or compromising on the quality and scale of the event, neither of which were considered appropriate.
The Tamborine Rodeo is the major annual fundraiser for Youth Enterprise Trust (YET), with funds directly supporting programs that create real pathways into training and employment for young people. Ensuring the event remains accessible, well-attended, and delivers meaningful impact has been central to this decision.
