Agenda Item #5 Matters of Public Interest

I would like to acknowledge the seamless distribution and collection of kerbside recycling bins in the region, and especially in the old Esk Shire area.  I recognise that this project outcome as been the culmination of almost 18 months of work and negotiations carried out by the Operations’ Department.  The Director of Operations acknowledged the whole of organisational team effort that was instigated to achieve such a positive and adequate service.

Congratulations to :

  • Somerset Regional Council, Government Organisation Award (Exceptional contribution in child protection and child safety at the public sector level – Lyn Buchanan (Community Development Co-ordinator)
  • Woodchopping accomplishments – Gerald Youles, Renee & Millie Retschlag
  • Toogoolawah Showgirl, West Moreton Sub Chamber 2022 Winning Showgirl – Olivia Frahm
  • Somerset State Emergency Service (SES) Unit, several members – Awarded Meritorious Service Medals (15,25,35 Years)
  • Channel Nine Interview – Lynette Lynch – Meeting Queen Elizabeth II

A big step forward for disaster resilience with the Emergency Response Fund Amendment (Disaster Ready Fund) Bill 2022 introduced to Parliament, which will help get money flowing for critical work across Queensland council areas.  $200 million a year in disaster prevention and resilience national funding will go towards prevention measures such as flood levees, sea walls, cyclone shelters, evacuation centres, fire breaks and telecommunications improvements.
