On 10 June, former Burdekin Shire Council Chief Executive Officer Terry Brennan was among over 700 Australians recognised in the 2024 King’s Birthday Honours List.
Brennan was recently bestowed with the prestigious Public Service Medal for his dedication and outstanding service to local government in Queensland, marking an extraordinary milestone in his remarkable 45-year career.
“It was a wonderful recognition for my service in local government and the work I’ve accomplished across several councils,” Mr. Brennan said.
“The ceremony at Government House was a great experience, and the Governor’s personal approach made it even more memorable.”
Since beginning his career in 1979 as a junior administration officer with Toowoomba City Council, Brennan has dedicated his life to local government.
Over the years, he has held key roles with Stanthorpe Shire Council, Cassowary Coast Regional Council, and as a board member for Queensland Local Government Mutual and Local Government Workcare.
Appointed as Chief Executive Officer of Burdekin Shire Council in 2016, Brennan played a pivotal role in delivering significant infrastructure projects in the region. Highlights include the development of the Burdekin Water Park, the Ayr-Brandon 10ML Reservoir, and the accompanying water supply upgrades, all of which stand as lasting contributions to the community.
Brennan’s recognition with a Public Service Medal is a testament to his unwavering commitment to improving local government and the lives of those in the Burdekin and beyond.
