Minute with the Mayor - Mayor Pierina Dalle Cort June 11th

It has been another busy week across the Burdekin, with a number of great events highlighting the talent and opportunities within our community.

I recently attended the Burdekin Interschool Drama Festival, which was held on Friday night. It was wonderful to see the performances from all our local high schools and the level of talent on display.

‍

There are also some important dates ahead, including Men’s Health Week from 15 to 21 June. I encourage everyone to take the time to look after their health and wellbeing — it’s important not just for yourself, but for those around you.

We also had a visit from Bob Katter, Member of the Australian House of Representatives, who dropped into Council. It’s always valuable to have open doors and conversations across all levels of government as we continue to advocate for our region.

‍

Another highlight was the Pathways & Possibilities event, which was a rewarding experience for those who attended. Education and career opportunities are so important, and it was encouraging to see the range of pathways available to support people in making decisions about their future.

These events are a strong reminder of the opportunities that exist within our community and the importance of continuing to support one another.
