Formal objection to the people writing formal objections to Mandatory Garden Organics (GO) Bin Charge.

​Dear Mayor and Councillors,

​I am writing to register my strong objection to the objections from others about the organic green waste bins.

Less than $2 a week seems like an entirely reasonable price to pay for a service that many other local government areas have had for many years.

I am personally looking forward to not having to do as many tip runs in the year.

PS - Please hurry up and complete the Boyne Tannum Aquatic Centre.

​Yours sincerely,

Over $1 million dollars in donations from multi national gas corporations. Make sense yet?

Please share! Excited to announce that Senator David Pocock will be joining us in Gladstone for Labour Day to speak about his push for a gas tax.

Come down and hear from David and other speakers and enjoy a great day in honour of the struggle and wins of workers ✊

You might have seen this going around - unfortunately my comment was blocked so here’s my views.

Respectfully, this is a ridiculous idea. All it will do is reduce access for residents to representation. There are 9 councillors to serve 65,000 people.

The annual GRC budget is $300 million give or take depending on the year. Reducing one councillor will reduce approx $100,000 a year in councillor wages. It will make bu**er all difference to the cost to rate payers. Less than 0.05% of the annual budget.

It will make a massive difference to residents when they want to try and get a hold of councillors to attend their community event or come to their part of the region to look at a specific issue etc. to catch up with farmers to look at their rural roads, to speak with residents about disaster recovery efforts or talk with local community groups about projects to enhance their communities.
