I want to welcome our new CEO, Matthew Magin. Matthew started with us on Monday and has hit the ground running. In March this year, the community voted for change. Hopefully, with Matthew’s help, we can deliver the outcomes the community expects and deserves.
This is my first column since the Burdekin Water Festival. I would like to congratulate and thank the newly formed Water Festival Committee for all the hard work that went into it. By all reports, it was a huge success. Hopefully, there wasn’t too much volunteer burnout. I have a feeling the team will be already planning a bigger and better Burdekin Water Festival in 2025.
I attended the Burdekin Chamber of Commerce meeting on Tuesday night. Like the Burdekin Water Festival, this group is struggling to fill executive positions. The next general meeting is this Tuesday 24th September at 5.30pm at National PC Ayr, 137 Queen Street. This is another organisation in very real threat of folding. Don’t wait until it’s too late to get on board.
September brings us a lot of sporting finals. Well done to all our sporting codes who excelled in 2024. For a small community, we punch above our weight time and time again.
The Cowboys are off to Sydney this weekend to face the Sharks in week 2 of NRL finals. Hopefully, they are successful. They will need to continue improving if they are to go all the way.
