About BURT

BURT helps local businesses

Frustration with Government. Parking & Loading Zone hassles. Bad Signage. Rubbish & graffiti. Unexpected road closures. Body Corporate issues. Security concerns. The list goes on & on…

Taking on the bigger challenges of business, clients & staff can take hours out of your day. Any attention you do give can be wasted if you’re just one lone voice.

That’s where BURT comes in.

BURT has been formed to deliver a strong, collective voice for local traders. BURT will get results on the issues that impact our businesses, where attempts by individuals fail.

Our core services:

Government & community relations
Lobbying
Media
Body Corporate negotians
Stakeholder management
Development of consensus solutions

While the BURT team has the skills & experience to tailor a plan to help individual businesses, our core work is not focused on marketing & events activities conducted by other Braddon-based & Canberra-wide organisations.
Instead, BURT delivers a unique set of services that complements, rather than competes with these groups.
BURT takes on the challenges impacting all local businesses to make Braddon a business & shopping destination of choice.

A Plan for action

During July 2020 a survey of all BURT businesses will identify our top concerns & establish priority actions.

BURT will then coordinate media coverage & direct action, including lobbying government & authorities in the lead up to the Budget to deliver change.

Social Media

BURT connects with the community through social media & promotes Braddon businesses to new & existing clients & customers.

Traditional Media

BURT maintains a strong media presence to grow & maintain community support for our policies & goals.

Community Liaison

BURT meets with the Federal & ACT Government, community groups, policing & other authorities to represent affiliated business.
