I actively work to shape our community’s future. Whether this be through research and questions or providing ideas and engaging with the community, I am dedicated to making a positive impact.
While the larger projects and initiatives, such as infrastructure improvements (e.g. water reservoirs, Macroalgae Bioremediation facility, and the new industrial estate) are fundamental, it is important to focus on the smaller yet equally important aspects of community life.
Recently, I had the honour of speaking with another young cohort at one of the fantastic programs run by the Burdekin PCYC. I really enjoy engaging with the youth. While I am not convinced I’m any good at it, I’ll show up and do my best with the hope that by telling my story and providing some of the advice and lessons I have learned, I can inspire one person to believe in themselves. The advice – work hard, prepare and don’t be afraid of failure. The Burdekin PCYC runs some pretty incredible programs, and we are lucky to have such a dedicated group in our community.
We have also had some wonderful community events on the calendar recently. From the Outdoor Movie Night, Seniors Luncheon, and the Kickoff the Conversation evening to the host of Home Hill Harvest Festival events as well as a range of Awards nights, openings and various showcases there is always something to do in the Burdekin. These events form part of the fabric of our community and we are incredibly fortunate to have so many locals dedicating their time to making them possible.
As part of my duties, I am the council-nominated director of Lower Burdekin Water (LBW). LBW replenishes groundwater across the Shire. Did you know, the Burdekin groundwater area is considered the largest replenished coastal aquifer in Australia? LBW has commenced construction of a new river pumping station at Warrens Gully Home Hill to upgrade its system capacity. The $11.5 million project is on track for completion by December 2023.
As always, it has been eventful and rewarding serving the Burdekin Community. Thank you for the privilege of being one of your elected members.
