For myself, I did manage to spend time with family and enjoy the great natural assets Hinchinbrook Shire has to offer with them.
I look forward to continuing my work with the Councillors and Staff in 2025, ensuring that the projects from the current financial year progress smoothly toward successful completion.
With Australia Day not far away, whether you’re a local or visiting the area, the Hinchinbrook Shire is the perfect place to celebrate. Enjoy a perfect mix of relaxation, adventure and community spirit.
For an up-to-date list of events, you can check out the Hinchinbrook Shire Council’s Community Events Calendar on our website. The Council Australia Day Awards Ceremony will kick off the weekend on Friday night, with the Fuller Family Golf Day and Australia Day Pool Party organised for Sunday.
On a more serious note, disasters can be a frequent occurrence during the wet season. If you are new to the area, be sure to visit Council’s Disaster Information page to gain a better understanding and access valuable links to vital information to assist you to Plan and Prepare for disasters. 'Opt-In' to the Disaster Dashboard for crucial updates, tips and links. As a Local Area Warden for the Local Disaster Management Group, I understand the need to provide valuable assistance in response to a natural disaster for the Cordelia area. I can't stress enough the need to be informed and to plan and prepare well in advance of the wet season commencing.
Once again, it’s great to pick up a copy of Hinchinbrook Life and explore the highlights of what has happened and what’s ahead for our Shire.
Have a great 2025, thank you.
