Congratulations to Mr David Duncan from Kilcoy and his recent achievements for being awarded the Excellence in Feedlot Education Medal at the Australian Lot Feeders Association’s SmartBeef conference.   Teys Condamine livestock manager, Mr Duncan was selected as one of three finalists for the award.

The Brisbane Valley Kilcoy Landcare Group is holding its AGM on 23 October, and a huge call out to any community member who may have time available to help out.  Most of the Executive positions will be declared vacant and without support, this group has a real chance of disappearing from our community.  Please come along if you have a regard for this type of local voluntary group.

A huge thank you to our SES and Rural Fire Brigades for their efforts during recent fires in our region.

After 39 years, 31 as staff and 2 terms as Councillor, I have enjoyed my journey and understand the importance of Local Government as the grass root level of government.

This unthinkable situation must be improved for Kilcoy and the travelling public!⛔️Council condemns bridge inspection delays, calls for urgent policy overhaul⛔️Council has slammed Transport and Main Roads Queensland for delaying the reopening of a major highway bridge for more than 24 hours after floodwaters had receded.Kilcoy Creek Bridge on the D’Aguilar Highway was inundated with slow-moving floodwaters at 9pm on Monday, 16 December, yet remained closed until 7.10am on Wednesday, 18 December—despite being cleared of water by 6.30am on Tuesday.Council Chief Executive Officer Andrew Johnson said the delay was unacceptable and had caused unnecessary disruption and risk to our community. “Leaving the bridge closed under traffic control and police guard for more than 24 hours is an outrageous waste of taxpayer dollars,” he said.
