The latest in a series of Whitsunday Regional Council ‘Community Catch-Ups’ took place at George’s Diner last week and about 35 residents from the Conway Beach and Wilson Beach areas residents attended.
Topics discussed included rebuilding the swimming enclosure at Wilsons Beach, telecommunications issues, Yellow Crazy Ants awareness and rubbish and waste issues for rural areas and illegal dumping.
Mayor Julie Hall said the community catch-ups allowed face to face interaction with the community so that Councillors could engage with residents on Council projects in their area.
“It is also a great opportunity to facilitate a two-way flow of information and hear from the residents about issues affecting their local community,” she said.
A dedicated portal on the Your Say Whitsundays website has been set-up to inform residents about the outcome of previous community catch-ups which have taken place at Mt Coolon, Cape Gloucester, Cannonvale, and Collinsville.
A full report from each event is available on the webpage.
There is also a quick and straightforward ‘ideas post-it tool’ where residents can upload their ideas for discussion prior to the next meeting.
Upcoming catch-ups include:

WHEN: Wednesday 2 August
TIME: 9am - 11am - Location TBD
Bowen
WHEN: Wednesday 30 August
TIME: 9am - 11am - Location TBD
Scottville, Shute Harbour and Gumlu and Cape Upstart – Dates TBC
