Over the past week I had the pleasure of attending the Local Government Annual Conference with Cr John Furnell, Cr Fina Vasta and CEO Matthew Magin, where Matthew and I presented on Council’s innovative Macroalgae Bioremediation Facility. The presentation attracted strong interest from other councils, many of whom are eager to understand how they could replicate this sustainable initiative within their own communities.
I’m also proud to share that Council received a Risk Excellence Award, recognising our commitment to proactive and responsible governance.
On Saturday, I attended a milestone event for our local volunteers - Volunteer Marine Rescue (VMR) Burdekin officially transitioned to Marine Rescue Queensland (MRQ). It was wonderful to celebrate this achievement and acknowledge the dedicated volunteers who have contributed so much over the past 54 years.
Earlier this week, we welcomed Regional Development Australia (RDA) to the Council Chambers. Their visit included a tour of the Macroalgae Facility and the Ayr Industrial Estate, highlighting opportunities for future regional collaboration and growth.
And finally, today marks an event I always look forward to - the Seniors Expo and Luncheon. This event is a celebration of our vibrant senior community, bringing people together to connect, share stories, and enjoy a day of entertainment and appreciation.
