Exciting news that the 2023 Whitsundays Tourism Awards will be held at the Proserpine Entertainment Centre on Friday, 20th October.
The selection of the Proserpine Entertainment Centre (PEC) as the venue for the tourism industry’s night of nights was a great decision by Tourism Whitsundays who were keen to deliver a cocktail-style event with two distinct elements to the evening – live music, canapes, and drinks on the lawn followed by the awards ceremony in the auditorium.
The PEC provides our region with a state-of-the-art facility that can seat up to 380 people in the auditorium and has international standard lighting, sound equipment, and professional backstage areas.
There is plenty of top-quality live shows and movies coming up at the PEC over the next few months with blockbuster films like Mission Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One (M), Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (M) and Barbie (PG).
Live shows include the raunchy Garry Starr Performs Everything on tonight, 21 July at 6.30pm, The Spirit of Leonard Cohen on 28 July and the Grigoryan Brothers – “This is Us” – A Musical Reflection of Australia, on 26 August.
I attended the Wilson Beach/Conway Beach Community Catchup recently and it was great that more than 35 residents turned up to be updated Council activities and provide feedback to us on issues affecting their area.
Residents raised several issues at the Wilsons/Conway Beach catch-up including illegal dumping and closure of cane sidings which may have safety implications for residents.
However, the main talking point was the Wilsons Beach swim enclosure which was badly damaged in Tropical Cyclone Debbie.
Council’s Manager Natural Resource Management and Climate Scott Hardy explained at the catch-up that after unsuccessfully going out for tender multiple times to have the Wilson’s Beach Swimming Enclosure demolished and rebuilt, Council have adopted a staged approach to get the works done.
He told the residents that Council engaged a local contractor to remove the damaged sections of the enclosure with a few vertical posts/poles remaining as they are still in reasonable condition.
Council has now sought quotes for the materials and once they arrive the tender process to award the contract for the rebuild will be issued and we hope to finish the project before the summer months.
Council’s next Community Catch-up is planned with for Proserpine on Wednesday August 2 from 9am – 11am at the Proserpine Entertainment Centre.
