As we welcome the new era of local government leadership with the re-election of Mayor Greg Williamson and the formation of the new Mackay Regional Council, I’m excited about the possibilities that lie ahead for our community. With a blend of fresh enthusiasm from newly elected councillors and the experience of those who have served before, we have a unique opportunity to shape the future of Mackay together.
This diverse council, representing a wide range of views and backgrounds, promises to bring a fresh perspective to the table. I’m eager to see how these diverse views will be harnessed to address the needs and aspirations of our community, from addressing the homelessness crisis to investing in the liveability of our region.
As we embark on this journey, I want to hear from you, our readers. What issues are most important to you? What community projects would you like to see prioritised by the new council? Your input is invaluable in guiding the direction of our city and ensuring that the voices of all residents are heard.
Whether it's advocating for improved infrastructure, fostering economic development, or enhancing our cultural and recreational offerings, your ideas and feedback matter. Together, we can work towards building a stronger, more vibrant Mackay for generations to come. Write to us about the issues that matter most to you, and let us know what community projects are on your wish list.
Your input could help shape the agenda of our new council and make a difference in our community.
