24.01.2022 "I love the Burdekin and I love what I do," is something I say often, but it's times like these when I feel truly honoured to be Mayor and incredibly grateful to be a part of such a resilient and strong community. Regardless of today's results, I know that the Burdekin will come through this, because of the people that call the Burdekin home.
21.01.2022 As I reflect on the last four years, I am incredibly proud of what we have all achieved, together, as a Council and as a community. In four years, we have delivered significant upgrades to essential services and completed key projects that improve the liveability of our shire while enticing visitors. Projects that improve Burdekin liveability while attracting visitors: ...

Strategies and plans developed to aid Council and the community in decision making: Burdekin Sports and Recreation Plan 2018-2028 Ayr Showgrounds Master Plan 2018 Burdekin Tourism Strategy 2018-2022 ANZAC Park Master Precinct Plan Animal Management Strategy 2019-2021 Economic Development Strategy (to be adopted) I hope I am re-elected as Mayor so I can lead the Burdekin through this challenging time and continue working with Council and the community to make the Burdekin a great place to live, work and visit.
12.01.2022 I'm pleased to advise the Electoral Commission Queensland have updated the results today and I now have 48.91% of votes which have been counted to date.

08.01.2022 It is the eve of the 2020 election and the end of what has been a challenging and tough week for so many. On one hand, it seems trivial to encourage people to vote in the midst of a global pandemic. On the other hand, from my perspective, I feel that it is essential that we have a strong, dedicated and experienced council to lead our community through this immensely challenging time. Tomorrow is the final day to vote, if you are yet to vote, I encourage you to do so, safel...y. Some tips and advice: - Bring your own pen or pencil to use - Follow social distancing guidelines (1.5m from other persons) - Wash your hands regularly and avoid touching your face Polling booths are open from 8am to 6pm tomorrow, Saturday 28th March 2020 at the following locations: - Ayr PCYC - Brandon State School - Clare State School - East Ayr State School - Giru CWA Hall - Jarvisfield State School - Kalamia State School - St Colman's School
01.01.2022 Thankyou everyone for your phone calls, messages and texts. Counting hasn't finished and so I'm hoping for a result tomorrow. Stay safe!
