Collinsville Catch-Up This Week

The fourth in a series of Community Catch-ups took place in Collinsville this week, with over 30 local residents keen to share their views on matters important to them.

Facilitated by Mayor Julie Hall and Councillors, the community catch-ups are dedicated to opening the lines of communication with the community.

The Collinsville Community Catch-up took place at the Collinsville Community Centre on Wednesday morning and the main topics of conversation were the road resealing program, Ted Cunningham Bridge update and flying foxes.

Mayor Hall said the community catch-ups provide Councillors the opportunity to better connect with our smaller communities, build relationships, share information, and gather feedback on local issues.

“Face to face catch-ups allow us to facilitate a two-way flow of information, updating residents on Council projects relevant to them and listen to issues affecting the local community,” Mayor Hall said.

The next Community Catch-up will be held at Conway and Wilson's Beach on Wednesday July 5.

Catch-ups are planned, and dates are yet to be set for the following locations: Proserpine, Bowen, Scottville, Shute Harbour and Gumlu, and Cape Upstart
