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.
Great work!🎖️ On this day 106 years ago, the guns fell silent on Europe’s Western Front. Four brutal years claimed an estimated 16 million lives, including 60,000 Australians. Another 156,000 Diggers were wounded, gassed or imprisoned; leaving lifelong, sometimes intergenerational, physical and mental scars.![]()

On Remembrance Day, we honour those who have served and suffered in all conflicts, and today's commemoration in the small country town of Kilcoy was particularly special. Kilcoy's original war memorial pre-dated modern-day infrastructure, and the memorial was positioned in a tricky spot when it came to upgrading essential services to support the community's growth. In what’s been a fantastic joint effort between our teams, Kilcoy RSL and Somerset Regional Council, a beautiful, updated memorial has been dedicated on a hill overlooking the region from which so many Diggers gave their all. ![]()

Remembrance Day and respect for veterans runs deep at Ergon and Energex – many of our own people have served, so it was particularly special to have some of them at Kilcoy today to remember the fallen at the first commemoration held at the new war memorial site. Our thanks to Kilcoy RSL and the community for welcoming us today, and our endless gratitude to all who have served our country. #lestweforget #RemembranceDay2024![]()

Due to my ongoing interest and knowledge of the Kilcoy Streetscape Project, I applied to Somerset Regional Council through an Expression of Interest to be selected on the Advisory Committee. I was successful and I now look forward to working with Council and other like-minded community members to achieve the very best for our town.![]()

Farewell Yvonne Chapman. I remember meeting this woman who was not afraid to speak her mind many years ago. Kilcoy, Caboolture, Redcliffe and Pine Rivers Councils formed the collaboration of Moreton Bay, Coast and Country. A great working group. RIP Yvonne💕
Council has started removing some Cadaghi (Corymbia torelliana) trees from Yowie Park, Kilcoy.![]()
⚠️The trees are regarded as an environmental weed in South East Queensland because they are invasive, cause infrastructure damage, compete with endemic species and produce a sticky resin.![]()
To preserve the amenity of the park, Council will remove four trees initially and replace them with suitable shade-producing trees.![]()
This process will be repeated once the new trees are well established.
