Charters Towers Regional Council is excited to announce the series 7 premiere of Australian Survivor is scheduled to air on Channel 10 at 7:30pm on Monday, 31 January 2022.

To celebrate the locally filmed season, Council is hosting a free event at the Tors Drive-In where the community can see the first episode live on the big screen.

Mayor Frank Beveridge said the screening at Tors Drive-In is a great opportunity for the Charters Towers community to support a production that has already brought so much to their community.

“This series will showcase our unique natural landscapes, nationally and globally, so it will be particularly special to residents in our Region.

“Everyone in our community has made this production experience a positive one.  We expect the benefits of this production will be felt for a very long time”, he said.

The free screening event at the Tors Drive-In will allow the community to come together and witness the work that Endemol Shine Australia has done in our Region says Mayor Beveridge.

“Council has worked closely with Endemol Shine Australia to bring Survivor to our Region,” he said.

The community has reaped the benefits of hosting up to 350 people over the seven months of filming in 2021.

The production brought an estimated boost to the local economy of between $5 – 7 million, and over 100 Charters Towers locals gained the opportunity to work on the production.

From the initial talks of hosting Survivor in 2020 to the release of the first episode in 2022, Council is truly excited to see the final product says Mayor Beveridge.
