Community & inclusion

Everyone has a place
at the table.

Once a year, Chinchilla closes Heeney Street and sets one very long table down the middle of it. Locals, businesses and visitors sit shoulder to shoulder, share food from around the world, and watch the street become a celebration of the cultures that make up this town.
