This month, we embarked on an exciting journey of revitalising our brand identity, marking a significant milestone in our organisation’s evolution. As part of this transformative process, we’ve taken the bold step of changing our name, a decision that reflects our commitment to adapt and thrive in an ever-changing landscape. The rebrand, which saw us transition from Burdekin Cane and Agriculture Organisation (BCAO) to Queensland Cane, Agriculture, and Renewables (QCAR), signifies a broader strategic vision and expanded focus that aligns seamlessly with the evolving dynamics of our industry and the imperative for sustainable development.
Our brand refresh goes beyond mere aesthetics; it’s a profound statement of our renewed vision, values, and dedication to serving our members and stakeholders better. Through planning and collaboration, we’ve crafted a brand that resonates with our mission and the aspirations of our industry.
The journey of refreshing our brand and changing our name has been a testament to our organisation’s adaptability and forward-thinking mindset. It’s a reflection of our commitment to staying relevant, innovative, and aligned with the ever-evolving needs of our members and the broader community.
As we unveil our new brand and name, we invite you to join us on this exciting path forward. Together, we’re embracing change, embracing growth, and embracing the future. Our refreshed brand is a symbol of our dedication to continually cultivate prosperity for our members and the industries we represent
A flourishing industry is great for the local community, and this ethos has already attracted some of Australia’s most substantial producers to QCAR
