Minute with the Mayor Mayor Pierina Dalle Cort

Our thoughts are with the families and communities currently facing the floodwaters entering their homes. It’s a distressing time, with loss and uncertainty weighing heavily on many.
Our volunteers are the backbone of these efforts, often working long hours with little recognition and no pay. The number of volunteers continues to decline, and the reality is, they cannot do it alone.
This situation puts into perspective just how vital our volunteers are. From emergency response to recovery efforts, they play a crucial role in keeping our communities safe and supported, especially during the severe weather events. If you’ve ever considered getting involved, now is the time. Even the smallest contribution can make a significant impact.
I urge everyone to stay informed by following the Burdekin Disaster Dashboard for real-time updates and critical information, disaster.burdekin.qld.gov.au. Accurate, up-to-date information is crucial during severe weather events. Please make sure you are accessing official sources.
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.
