22.01.2022 Last weekend I went with my Wife and friends to see The Towers Players "The 39 steps". What a joy! It was the funniest play, that we have seen in years. This is great live theatre , very few towns have enough talented people to put on plays such as this. Congratulations to the cast and crew!

07.01.2022 This week we had a meeting of the new Regional Queensland Council of Mayor"s executive. While in Mackay we visited the Dalrymple Bay Coal loading facility. This facility pays a lot of bills for QLD and Australia. As a country we are blessed with valuable resources and must make the most of it.
06.01.2022 Jobs available. If you know anyone qualified for these positions, please pass on the information.
06.01.2022 To say Charters Towers Regional Council is delighted with the State Government’s announcement today to commit $30million, subject to a successful detailed busi...ness case, to Big Rocks Weir would be an understatement. The realisation of Big Rocks Weir will mean both provisions of long-term water security to our community and the development of up to 5,000ha of irrigated agricultural land in close proximity to the river, creating over 400 FTE valuable local jobs post-construction. Furthermore, Council looks forward to being appointed the proponent during the construction phase of the Big Rocks Weir project, again pending a favourable business case, to become the ‘masters of our own destiny’ and ensure job security and economic growth for the Charters Towers Region. We also look forward to becoming the owner/operator on completion of the facility.
