Minute with the Mayor Mayor Pierina Dalle Cort

This past week has been a testimony to the strength and spirit of our Burdekin community especially as we mark Mental Health Week.
Firstly, I’d like to highlight the Men's Shed and the positive impact it is having on the community. With consistent attendance, this initiative continues to provide a safe space for connection, conversation, and support, reinforcing the importance of well-being in our community.
There was a fantastic turnout for the Burdekin Shire Youth Council's 30th Anniversary, where the community came together to celebrate three decades of fostering growth, leadership, and friendships among our youth. Thank you to everyone who attended and supported this significant milestone.
Following this, the Connect and Celebrate Wellbeing Event brought community members together for an inspiring afternoon focused on connection and wellbeing. A big thank you to all who participated and made this event a success.
To top it all off, on Sunday I had the incredible opportunity to take an aerial flight of the Burdekin thanks to the Aero Club. It was an eye-opening experience to see our beautiful community from above - reminding me just how lucky we are to call this place home.
If you would like to get in touch with me, please feel free to phone me on 0447 150 582 or email mayor@burdekin.qld.gov.au.
