Firstly, I would like to thank the residents of the Burdekin for your vote at the recent election which enabled me to become a Councillor. Since being elected to Council, life has been crazy. Trying to juggle life, work, exercise, and everything else life throws at you. Council will be challenging learning new Policies, procedures, and the everyday working of the council. It has been interesting to learn how things work, and the thought that goes into the decision-making process that could affect the lives of the Burdekin Residents.
Getting to know my fellow councillors is also a great experience as we all have different personalities and ideas that we can all bring to the table which helps with the decision-making process. As a combined group we can achieve the best outcome.
The staff and former councillors have also been marvellous with our transition to being councillors, helping with everything that is required to understand our new position.
Last week, I attended the Burdekin Heritage Precinct at Brandon with my fellow Councillors where the passionate volunteers showed us where they spend countless hours restoring all sorts of machinery. The work they do out there is amazing and is really worth a visit.
It was also great to see the dedication of the local residents at the Anzac Day Dawn service. It shows the great respect we all have.
