Cr Cheryl Gaedtke – Ordinary Council Meeting 8 March 2023
Agenda Item #5 Matters of Public Interest
Congratulations to Major-General Jake Ellwood who has been appointed the Chief Executive Officer of the Queensland Reconstruction Authority. Major General Ellwood led the recovery from last year’s SEQ floods as State Recovery Coordinator. The Queensland Reconstruction Authority is the state’s lead agency responsible for disaster recovery and resilience. It was the first of its kind in Australia and has responded to over 100 disasters since 2011.
Congratulations also to Emma Gibbons (Granddaughter to past Chairman Kilcoy Shire Council Ken and wife Mary Nunn) for winning the Queensland AgriFutures Rural Women’s Award. Ms Gibbons was selected from a field of four finalists who epitomized the significant impact women have on rural industries, businesses and communities. Her Coolum Beach-based business Huds and Toke sells dog food and treats made with Australian-farmed insect protein and vegetable surplus. The business now boasts a thriving national and international market base. Ms Gibbons will represent Queensland as a national finalist in September.

As Chair of the RADF Advisory Committee, I wish to thank committee members for the very in-depth discussions and consequential points raised at our last meeting. The arts and cultural presence in our region is definitely progressive and valued.
The Brisbane Valley Heritage Trails Committee is planning to produce a book recording the trails of telephone exchanges, hospitals and schools that were historically based along the Brisbane Valley Heritage Trail.
