Meet Your Mayor?

An opportunity to meet six candidates in the race for the Whitsundays’ next mayor is happening next Thursday, hosted by Whitsunday Coast Chamber of Commerce (WCCC).

The Local Chamber, an apolitical community organisation, will be hosting the Meet Your WRC Mayoral Candidates on Thursday, July 14 starting 6.30pm at the VMR in Cannonvale.

It’s inviting not just its members but all residents of the greater Whitsunday region to attend this event at no cost.

Each of the six current candidates will be in attendance – Michael Brunker, Jan Clifford, Al Grundy, Peter J Hood, Julie Hall, and Phil Batty.

The community organisation focused on improving the region for its members and community at large is hoping the event will provide an opportunity for businesses and individuals to speak with the potential mayors.

Chamber members have been invited to submit in advance, to the chamber secretary, any general questions they would like the candidates to address on the evening.

The organisation with no affiliation with Whitsunday Regional Council wanted to express that, in each 12-month cycle on rotation, a WRC counsellor is invited to attend all committee meetings throughout the year with a goal of two-way communication between the organisations.

Every attendee at this event will receive a bonus ticket to attend Chamber’s next networking event in August – an annual fee of $99 is usually required to attend one of the six meetings.

Who gets your vote in the next Mayoral election for the Whitsundays may be decided when you meet the candidates at VMR next Thursday
