I would like to express my sincere thanks for your vote at the recent local Government elections. The polling results clearly indicated that so many of you showed faith in my ability to represent you in council effectively. As a new councillor, I will do my utmost to honour that faith and I am excited to be working with the new team for the betterment of our entire Shire.
I would also like to thank the outgoing Mayor and councillors for their contribution during their time with council and the many worthwhile projects they have delivered.
Recently I had the pleasure of attending the Home Hill Chamber of Commerce meeting where Tony Goddard gave a presentation on Ayr Rotary. All service clubs are an integral part of our community, continually giving back, so please consider joining one of these wonderful organisations. I also attended the Burdekin show committee’s recent meeting. Such a big event falls on the shoulders of a very capable few who are busily planning this year’s show. It once again, promises to be as big and exciting as ever.
A tourism gem in Brandon is the Burdekin Heritage Precinct. Councillors John Furnell, Fina Vasta and I met with 20 of the volunteers from Burdekin, Hinchinbrook, Charters Towers, and Townsville who were in town for the 2024 Visitor Information Centre Volunteers Conference for a tour of the facility. In short, this place is incredible! It is home to a 1910 Marshall C Class Tractor which is the only one of its class left in the world. Tours can be taken through the complex on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays between 9am and 3pm. Do yourself a favour and go check it out.
