A Minute With The Mayor Mayor Pierina Dalle Cort

This past month has been a whirlwind of firsts for me, and I’ve loved every moment of it.
I was honoured to celebrate the incredible 100-year anniversary of the Home Hill Race Club. It’s amazing to think about how much history and community spirit has been poured into this club over the last century.
Attending the BCA Seniors Luncheon and the Tourism Volunteers Christmas Party for the first time was such a treat. Meeting so many wonderful people who contribute so much to our community made these events truly special.
Another first for me was attending school graduations across the Shire. Watching students step confidently into the next chapter of their lives with excitement and enthusiasm for the future. I wish them all the best as they embark on this new journey.
The Bendigo Community Bank Home Hill and Ayr Christmas Carols was a fantastic evening and it was amazing to see Watson’s Green packed with Christmas spirit. Santa even paid us a visit, and we were blessed with a rain-free event!
As the temperatures continue to rise, I encourage everyone to stay hydrated and look after themselves. Don’t forget to also prepare for any unexpected weather events - it’s always better to be safe and ready.
Thank you for welcoming me so warmly at these events. It’s been a joy to experience the wonderful traditions and spirit that make the Burdekin such a special place to call home.
Stay safe and take care of yourself. Should you wish to reach out, don’t hesitate to contact me directly by phone on 0447 150 582, or feel free to send an email to mayor@burdekin.qld.gov.au.
