As we head into the Christmas-New Year holiday season, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on my first nine months serving as Mayor since being elected in April.
To date it has been a journey filled with many challenges, some achievements, and plenty of invaluable lessons.
Stepping into the position of Mayor has been both an honour and a great responsibility. It has been a year of listening, learning, and laying the foundation for an exciting future.
From day one, my focus has been on hearing the concerns of our community and the numerous key stakeholder groups to understand the issues that impact of region.
From upgrading our key infrastructure to enhancing community services and attracting investment that will create more jobs for locals, every step forward has been possible because of your support and collaboration.
Our Whitsundays is more than just a place we live; it’s a vibrant and dynamic community with endless potential. As we look to the year ahead, there are exciting projects and initiatives on the horizon—opportunities that should create growth, prosperity, and greater connection for all.
As we celebrate this festive season, let us take the time to appreciate the spirit of togetherness that defines the Whitsundays. Let’s support our local businesses, embrace the beauty of our region, and share kindness with our neighbours.
From my family to yours, I wish you a joyful and safe Christmas filled with love, laughter, and gratitude. Here’s to a bright and prosperous 2025 ahead.
