Mackay and Whitsunday Life

A Minute With The Mayor Mayor Pierina Dalle Cort

I’d like to take a moment to formally welcome our two new homegrown Directors to the team. We welcome Director Infrastructure, Planning, and Environmental Services James Stewart and Director of Corporate and Community Services Kim Olsen.
Both are home grown, have a deep connection to our region and are committed to ensuring Council achieves the best outcomes for our community. I am confident that, with their leadership, we will continue to move forward with our shared vision for a thriving Burdekin.
I had the pleasure of walking up the street recently as part of our Activating Our CBDs campaign. It’s fantastic to see so many people getting involved, and I encourage everyone to continue supporting our local businesses. As part of this initiative, we have a survey available online - please take the time to fill it out and share your thoughts.
Council is welcoming input from the community on what they believe will help breathe new life into these critical areas in Ayr and Home Hill. Your feedback is invaluable, and it helps shape the future of our CBDs.
Lastly, a reminder that we’re in the peak of magpie swooping season. Please be cautious when out and about, especially near known nesting areas.
If you would like to get in touch with me, please feel free to phone me on 0447 150 582 or email mayor@burdekin.qld.gov.au.
