Gympie Regional Council at Cooloola Business

Gympie Regional Council

Published March 18th, 2008 in Gympie

The election for 2008 Gympie Regional Council is almost over with a resounding win to Ron Dyne, the former Mayor of the former Kilkivan Shire. Congratulations Ron.

We hope that the new Council can work together and get some runs on the board quickly to ensure community consultation and representation becomes enshrined as part of the decision making process.

It is also important to keep residents informed on what Council is doing and Council should make every endeavour to publish meeting agendas as early as possible on Council’s website - even former Councillor Ron Owen managed to do this with his own resources at www.ronowengympie.com even though the former Cooloola Council kept coming up with excuses why it was not possible.

We would like to see consultation on major issues commence as soon as possible especially before any decision is made on giving land to private developers at Inskip Point. This is public land - land that Council should control and manage with development benefitting the community!
