Did you Know? With Mayor Lyn McLaughlin

Did you know that in the last financial year, your Council convened a total of 23 Ordinary and Special Council Meetings?

Council meetings are open to the public, allowing individuals like you to observe how decisions are made and the reasoning behind them.

In this case, Burdekin Shire Council schedules these meetings on a regular basis, typically every second and fourth Tuesday of each month commencing at 9am at the Council Chambers. This regularity provides predictability councillors, staff and the public enabling them to attend if they wish.

If you're interested in understanding what's on the agenda or what decisions were made during these meetings, you can easily access the Council Agenda and Minutes which are made available on the Council's website, burdekin.qld.gov.au. The agenda outlines the topics and provides reports to be discussed, while the minutes record the decisions made at the meeting. You can find all the information by visiting Council’s website; burdekin.qld.gov.au/.

Members of the community are encouraged to stay informed and engaged with Council's activities by attending these meetings in person or utilising the online resources provided. This involvement allows for a more informed and participatory community.
