Big news for the Whitsundays, Mayor Ry Collins has been appointed to the Host Mayors Advisory Group for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The advisory group plays a key role in shaping how the Games will benefit communities across Queensland, ensuring regional areas have a voice in planning and legacy outcomes. With the Whitsundays proudly set to host the Olympic sailing events, Mayor Collins’ appointment ensures the region is well represented as preparations for the world’s biggest sporting event continue to build momentum.
Mayor Collins said he was honoured to take on the role and to work alongside other Queensland mayors to help deliver meaningful, long-term benefits for communities outside the southeast corner.
“It was a great week of collaboration, innovation and inspiration, from shaping Olympic opportunities for the Whitsundays to championing local government issues that matter most to our communities,” Mayor Collins said.
Mayor Collins’ appointment was announced while he was on the Gold Coast attending the Annual Local Government Association of Queensland (LGAQ) State Conference, alongside CEO Warren Bunker and Councillors Jan Clifford, Clay Bauman and John Finlay.
The conference provided an opportunity for councils across Queensland to debate key issues, share ideas, and strengthen local government collaboration across the state.
Mayor Collins said the event reinforced the importance of teamwork and innovation as councils prepare for the opportunities the Brisbane 2032 Games will bring to regions like the Whitsundays.
