The final Whitsunday Regional Council Community Catch-Up for 2023 took place last week, with over 20 Cape Upstart and Gumlu residents joining Mayor Julie Hall and Councillors at the Molongle Creek Boat Club.
Discussions included bushfire resilience projects, road updates, disaster and storm season preparation, Molongle Creek boat ramp and washdown area, and a budget overview.
This was the final Community Catch-up for 2023 and Mayor Hall said that, since taking office in August 2022, she has been a huge advocate of face-to-face engagement with residents in the Whitsunday region.
“At the start of this year we scheduled a series of Community Catch-ups so myself and Councillors could better connect with our local communities, build relationships, share information and gather feedback on local issues.
“The vision of the Community Catch-ups was to provide an informal setting to discuss topics important to the local community,” she said.
“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.
“We kicked off the Community Catch-ups on March 1 at Dingo/Hydeaway Beach and have since held similar meetings at Mt Coolon, Conway/Wilson Beach, Proserpine, Bowen, Cannonvale, Scottville, Airlie Beach/Shute Harbour and last week’s final catch-up for the year at Gumlu/Cape Upstart.
“To close the loop Council provided participants who provided contact details with a detailed report of discussion, key outcomes, and future actions from the meeting via email,” Mayor Hall said.
“All catch-up reports have been posted on our Your Say Online Engagement Portal project page for interested residents that were unable to attend.”
