Minute with the Mayor Mayor Pierina Dalle Cort

Last week, I had the opportunity to attend the Burdekin Chamber meeting, where one of our main focuses was on the Burdekin gift cards which is a great initiative to keep money circulating within our community. Also discussed was the future of our community and the need for strong leadership. A crisis meeting is being held this week to address the formation of a new committee, ensuring we continue driving positive change for the Burdekin.
In other news, I'm thrilled to share a win for road safety - thanks to the efforts of our community, we’ve successfully had 'Giddy Road' removed from Google Maps as a recommended route. This is a significant step towards keeping our roads safer, and I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who played a role in making this happen. Your involvement is helping to ensure a safer future for all of us.
Let’s continue working together for the Burdekin we all know and love.
