Cr Cheryl Gaedtke – Ordinary Council Meeting 27 September 2023

Agenda Item #5 Matters of Public Interest

It is interesting to read that many Aussies are cutting back on their social media habits in a bid to improve their mental health.  Market research has revealed that 39 per cent are embarking on the social media detox and they also believed they were wasting too much time on the app.  It was also found that some said they quit social media because there were too many negative stories or posts that brought down their mood.  Meanwhile, 4 per cent said they wanted to see their friends in real life and less online.

The Kilcoy Chamber of Commerce held its Annual General Meeting at the Kilcoy RSL,  all positions were declared vacant and each position successfully filled from the floor.  I look forward to the chamber achieving its priorities over the next twelve months.  Congratulations to the management committee consisting of Lee, Phillip, Bronwyn, Tim, Stephanie, Matthew and Cameron.

I shared a busy and interactive Saturday at the Toogoolawah Condensery.  Those who called in to the Condensery were astounded by the level of work provided by the exhibition titled “The Good” and responsible artist Anna Louise Richardson.   Enlightened guests recognised many of the pieces through their rural pursuits.
