As we move into the warmer months, I want to remind our community how important it is to be mindful of our water use. Temporary Stage 1 Water Restrictions in Ayr will commence from the 7 November to 7 December while Council completes a critical stage of the South Ayr Filtration Plant upgrade. These works are essential to securing the long-term reliability of our water supply.
We all have a part to play in conserving this precious resource. I encourage everyone to follow smart water practices, plenty of great tips can be found on Council’s website, and think about simple ways to make a difference at home. As I’ve been driving around the shire recently, I’ve noticed many green (and a few not-so-green!) lawns. The best times to water your gardens are early morning or late evening, when the sun is low and evaporation is minimal. While the Burdekin is fortunate to have an abundance of our own ‘liquid gold,’ remember that every drop you use comes at a cost - so use it wisely.
Please take into consideration the importance of these works and join Council in helping to preserve our water supply throughout this period. I encourage the entire Burdekin community to reduce water in their homes.
On another note, as the sugar crushing season is nearing the end, many of the women in the Burdekin will be breathing a small sigh of relief as the “black snow” settles for another year. It’s all part of living in the sugar capital of Australia - a town proudly built on the strength of our cane industry, which continues to keep our community thriving.
And finally, with just 10 weeks until Christmas, I am excited to announce the return of the Mayor’s Christmas Tree Appeal. Last year’s incredible generosity from our community made a real difference for local families, and I look forward to seeing that same spirit of giving once again this festive season.
Should you wish to reach out, don’t hesitate to contact me directly by phone at 0447 150 582, or feel free to send an email to mayor@burdekin.qld.gov.au.
