Lyn McLaughlin will run for a final term as Mayor of the Burdekin Shire at the 2024 Local Government Elections on Saturday, March 16.
The announcement comes on the first week of candidate nominations opening, with the incumbent looking to see some of her Council’s long-term projects through to completion.
“I have been fortunate to be Mayor of the Burdekin Shire for the past eight years and in that time, have seen many significant projects take shape,” Ms McLaughlin said.
“This will be the final time I run for Mayor – I love the Burdekin, I have lived here for 47 years, but I’m not done yet.
“I want to see these projects through to completion to ensure our Shire remains resilient long into the future.
“Recently, Council has implemented a range of long-term strategies to future proof not only our Shire’s infrastructure, but our cultural venues and parks, tourism offerings, and more.
“After seeing these strategies go from community consultation to adoption and seeing ground break on some of the major projects we have been advocating for over the past few years, I am now even more passionate about seeing them through to the end.”
Some of these key projects include the expansion of the Burdekin’s Industrial Estate and full-scale Macroalgal Bioremediation Facility, which both broke ground in 2023.
Other long-term strategic projects Ms McLaughlin has seen over her previous term of Council include securing long-term water security with both the 5ML Home Hill Reservoir and 10ML Ayr/Brandon Reservoir and related filtration systems delivered, supported by Queensland Government funding; the Home Hill Memorial Park and Watson’s Green Master Plan; the ANZAC Park Precinct Master Plan; and upgrades to the Burdekin Aquatic Centre and Water Park.
“The Burdekin is the best place to live, work, play, visit and invest, and I have advocated for projects that will further cement our Shire as a desirable place for residents, businesses, tourists and investors,” Ms McLaughlin said.
Local Government elections will be held on Saturday March 16, with more information available at ecq.qld.gov.au.
