Minute with the Mayor Mayor Pierina Dalle Cort

This past Monday 11 November, we came together to honour Remembrance Day. It was a solemn moment as I attended the memorial service in Ayr to pay our respects to the brave service men and women who have served our nation. Their sacrifice and dedication will never be forgotten. While attendance at the ceremonies in both Ayr and Home Hill was unfortunately lower than anticipated, I trust that many took a moment to reflect and commemorate in their own private ways.
For those who are unaware, I’d like to provide an update on the ongoing roundabout works on Queen Street. Recently, the kerbs on the roundabout were badly damaged during resurfacing works carried out by a contractor on behalf of TMR. This led to significant cracks and failures in the newly installed kerbs. I want to assure the community that repairs are currently underway, and the contractor is responsible for covering all restitution costs. Whilst we understand that these repair works may cause some inconvenience, they are necessary to ensure the roundabout is restored to its best condition. Your patience and understanding during this time are greatly appreciated.
Stay safe and take care of yourself. Should you wish to reach out, don’t hesitate to contact me directly by phone on 0447 150 582, or feel free to send an email to mayor@burdekin.qld.gov.au.
