Minute with the Mayor Mayor Pierina Dalle Cort

We've had continued wet weather, which has certainly impacted our roads. At present, they are being patched until we receive disaster relief funding. If you come across any large potholes, I encourage you to contact our Customer Service Centre on 4783 9800 or use the Snap Send Solve app to report them. Please take extra care while travelling during this weather, and don’t hesitate to report any other concerns.
What a fantastic event the Fast Track Talent Showcase was last weekend. This event first started 11 years ago when I was a Councillor, and it has grown tremendously since then. I had the pleasure of speaking with attendees who praised the Burdekin for hosting such a great platform for talent, attracting performers from far and wide.
Over the weekend, I attended Clare State School’s 75th Anniversary. It was a fantastic event, with a great turnout for the roll call. It was wonderful to reminisce, reconnect, and celebrate such an important milestone for the school and community. Amongst the chatter and laughter some would even say, “You haven’t changed a bit!” Congratulations to everyone involved in making this event so special. It was an honour to be part of the celebrations.
BATS – There are many suggested methods for managing these creatures, but Council must adhere to State laws. I wish we could simply tell them where to go, but unfortunately, they have a mind of their own. Council is doing everything possible to address the issue, but the weather conditions make it challenging. If you have concerns, I recommend taking children to another play area in the meantime.
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.
