My thanks to staff for organising a lovely acknowledgement of my impending retirement from Local Government. Our Local Government family has certainly grown from my early days with Kilcoy Shire Council when I first joined the team in 1977.

I believe in open communication, active listening and a commonsense approach, ALWAYS!
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.

Thank you SRC and CEO Andrew. 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.

Totally unacceptable what transpired in Kilcoy! DTMR need to explain why their structure, when inundated by flood water must be inspected by an engineer before the newly replaced bridge can be reopened to the public. DTMR must be accountable to offering (past) assurances that this mandatory process would no longer apply to the new improved structure. The integrity of the previous wooden structure had to be inspected by an engineer prior to reopening to the public, we understood that need. We, the Kilcoy community and the travelling public need an explanation why this process is still valid, and what will occur with future flooding events in Kilcoy?The "road closed" route - Winya Road, Mt Kilcoy Road and Kennedy Street is not desirable. The clock monument roundabout is a challenge for long vehicles to negotiate, and not to mention all the residents impacted by this decision. The fact that all affected traffic travel over Walsh's Crossing and the council bridge that has the same flood waters flow beneath it beggars belief.There was community antagonism at the time of the DTMR bridge replacement, and unfortunately this issue was part of the resistance.Enough is enough. ...
