 Cr Cheryl Gaedtke – Ordinary Meeting 25 November 2020

 Agenda Item # 5 Matters of Public Interest

 Community members are uniting in an effort to change the unwelcomed attitude of campers and other users of environmentally sensitive areas in the southern section of our region.  Community members are taking an active stance and will ensure that rubbish left behind is collected and disposed of appropriately.  In due time, this unacceptable occurrence will be reduced and eventually replaced with responsible behaviour and attitude.  Together, this despicable matter will be resolved.

 Congratulations to Hayden Smith representing Somerset Region SES Unit, for receiving the North Ipswich Rotary Police and Emergency Services SES Officer of the Year.

It has been reported that a new procurement agreement designed by the Australian Olympic Committee will provide Queensland companies with first preference of providing hundreds of services from torch design to the opening and closing ceremony fireworks.  Hundreds of Queensland businesses will be given the opportunity of building stadiums, roads and key resources for the 2032 Olympics as part of a “Queensland First” strategy to be ratified by the International Olympic Committee.

13           Funeral – Coen Michael Fry

The Kilcoy community said farewell to a very respected and well-liked young man who was regarded as a bit of a comedian.  Coen gave up his time to volunteer with the Rural Fire Brigade and judged cattle at the Ekka.  As a big fan for sausages in bread with onions and barbecue sauce, along with Bushell’s tea, the dish was served to guests following Coen’s funeral.  A precious gift to his family, and who lived a full and varied life with a true work ethic at such an early age.

I believe in open communication, active listening and a commonsense approach, ALWAYS!
After 39 years, 31 as staff and 2 terms as Councillor, I have enjoyed my journey and understand the importance of Local Government as the grass root level of government.

George & Sarah Adsett moved to their Mt Kilcoy selection, Glenelg, in 1904.George served two terms as a Kilcoy Shire Councillor (1924-1930). George was also Chair and committee member of the Mt Kilcoy State School Building Committee formed on 20th February 1908. Having eight children, George was part of the community who understood the need for a school at Mt Kilcoy. The building of the school was approved on 15th April 1908 at a cost of 205 pounds, the building was completed by 21st December. The school officially opened on the 18th January 1909. In 1909, Minnie, Aaron and Arthur Adsett, along with twenty-five other children commenced their schooling at Mt Kilcoy.In recognition of the achievements of the Building Committee and Great Grandfather Adsett's involvement some 120 years ago, I proudly presented the "George Adsett" Sporting Cup to the Mt Kilcoy State School winning sports house for 2024. ...

Great work!🎖️ On this day 106 years ago, the guns fell silent on Europe’s Western Front. Four brutal years claimed an estimated 16 million lives, including 60,000 Australians. Another 156,000 Diggers were wounded, gassed or imprisoned; leaving lifelong, sometimes intergenerational, physical and mental scars.On Remembrance Day, we honour those who have served and suffered in all conflicts, and today's commemoration in the small country town of Kilcoy was particularly special. Kilcoy's original war memorial pre-dated modern-day infrastructure, and the memorial was positioned in a tricky spot when it came to upgrading essential services to support the community's growth. In what’s been a fantastic joint effort between our teams, Kilcoy RSL and Somerset Regional Council, a beautiful, updated memorial has been dedicated on a hill overlooking the region from which so many Diggers gave their all. Remembrance Day and respect for veterans runs deep at Ergon and Energex – many of our own people have served, so it was particularly special to have some of them at Kilcoy today to remember the fallen at the first commemoration held at the new war memorial site. Our thanks to Kilcoy RSL and the community for welcoming us today, and our endless gratitude to all who have served our country. #lestweforget #RemembranceDay2024📷 Our own Rick Madden, Chris Graham and Michael Hayes with ex-serviceman and Caboolture depot stalwart Chris Kliese, Energex’s Gary McMillan and Amy Tasker, and Kilcoy RSL’s Dan Tones & sub-branch president Shane Williams at today's commemoration. ...
