Boonah Cultural Centre is set to play a cameo role as a COVID-19 vaccination clinic later this month.
It’s in response to a request from West Moreton Health, Scenic Rim Regional Council will make the centre available as a clinic on the last weekend of the month and waive the venue hire and associated fees.

Scenic Rim Mayor Greg Christensen says Council is pleased to be able to assist in the continuing rollout of COVID-19 vaccinations across the region.
“I am delighted Queensland Health has supported our community in improving ease of access to COVID-19 vaccines through their pop-up clinics.”
“We still have a way to go to reach the full 80 per cent vaccination coverage for the region so it’s important everyone plays a part and gets vaccinated to keep our community safe and our economy open.”
Cr Christensen says Boonah Cultural Centre’s use as a vaccination clinic is one of many measures taken by Council to reduce the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Since 2020, Council has allocated $1 million for a range of measures in its economic stimulus packages to support the community and businesses impacted by COVID-19.
In late 2021, Council also communicated with the office of Queensland Premier Anastacia Palaszczuk about the impacts of COVID-19 restrictions on the community.
The responses to the letters, which were read by Cr Christensen at Council’s Ordinary Meeting on the 8th of this month can be viewed here.
