Participants will be given the opportunity to ask questions and investigate ways to work with this sector.

You will hear from:

• WxNW

Burnie Volunteer Information Session (1:00-3:00pm)

Following the morning Cruise Pre-Season Briefing session, we invite all Burnie volunteers to join as we share how Burnie City Council will contribute to the success of the 2025/26 Cruise season.

If you’re a Burnie Experience Volunteer, Museum Volunteer or Visitor Guide, we invite you to hear from Burnie City Council’s Volunteer Coordinator, Philip, where he will guide us through the key logistics for the upcoming Cruise Ship season.

This session will include topics such as.

• Makers Market

• Shuttle Stop and Buses

• Volunteer Roles/Expectations

• + More

This is a great opportunity for both new and returning volunteers to learn what’s ahead, ask questions, and prepare for a successful season.
