Table talk with Council
SOMERSET Regional Council welcomed Kilcoy community groups for a special Council Community Meeting on Wednesday, July 23.
Council invited representatives from Kilcoy State School, Kilcoy State High School, Mt Kilcoy State School, the Kilcoy District Progress Association, Kilcoy RSL, Kilcoy Art Society, and QLD Hydro for an informal chat over morning tea prior to the Ordinary Meeting.
Somerset Mayor Jason Wendt said it was encouraging to see so many people in the community taking the opportunity to engage with Council.
“Somerset is a vast and decentralised region, and our Council has a duty to represent and deliver services for everyone, no matter where they live,” Cr Wendt said.
“This was our first trial Council Community Meeting, something which my fellow Councillors and I campaigned for during the 2024 election.
“This meeting allowed the community to speak directly with Councillors and Directors, ask questions, and learn about Council’s decision-making process.
“We look forward to our next Council Community Meeting, which will be advertised within the community in the coming months.”
