The Burdekin is a remarkable community, and I am incredibly proud to be part of it.
Council has made significant progress toward securing a prosperous future characterised by long-term economic growth and social sustainability. Ensuring we have a strong foundation creates a stable platform upon which we can continue to build.
Economy: Development of the new industrial estate is currently underway. This project is anticipated to play a key role in driving economic growth in our Shire.
Water: The construction of new reservoirs in both Home Hill and Ayr, increases storage capacity and enhances water security.
Wastewater: Recently, we have seen construction commence on the ground-breaking Macro-Algae Bioremediation system, a project poised to support our community now and its growth into the future.
Consultation: During this term, Council has established Community Connect Sessions. These sessions are all about listening to you, the community, and fostering partnerships for a better future.
Liveability: Creating a liveable community benefits both existing residents and those considering relocation. A prime example of this progress is the recent upgrades to the Burdekin Aquatic Centre.
Many of the projects are thanks not only to this council but also to the visionary efforts and commitment of previous councils.
As a councillor, my days are often filled with meetings and prep work – not usually front-page news but essential. My commitment to the community, however, extends beyond my role as a councillor. I have the privilege of representing the Burdekin across various platforms, advocating for our Shire, and underscoring the significance of rural communities like ours and our people. Each day, I strive to bring about positive change and progress.
We really have a lot to offer in the Burdekin. This is in part, because we have such a strong community and so many individuals going above and beyond in their respective fields.
Supporting our community and planning for the future allows us to pave the way for a brighter tomorrow for generations to come.
I love my job, thank you for the honour.
