What a frighteningly wonderful night it was. Bungendore came alive with costumes, candy, community spirit — and a little Beetlejuice magic. Thank you to everyone who made it happen.

Regional Recognition

A Model for
Community Events

What started as a simple idea — invite families into the Bungendore business district for a free trick-or-treat event — turned into something much bigger. The event was so well received that it has now been recognised and encouraged by Regional Development Australia Southern NSW & ACT as a model for community engagement across the region.

A completely free event that brought hundreds of families together, supported local businesses, and strengthened the fabric of our town. This is what community looks like.

"A free event that invited families into the Bungendore business district to trick or treat — encouraging families to visit their local businesses — is now being encouraged by Regional Development Australia Southern NSW & ACT."
