In collaboration with other central western councils and Remote Area Planning and Development Board (RAPAD), we work together to deliver better outcomes for the greater region. Council has a strong focus on ensuring financial sustainability whilst supporting economic diversification and growth within the region. We are currently finalising our 2021-25 Corporate Plan with a strong focus on consolidating prior year gains, supporting economic and community development and delivering a sustainable future. Operationally around a quarter of our income comes from Main Roads contracts covering maintenance, flood works and improvement projects. With a number of major highways and roads intersecting in Barcaldine, maintaining a professional and quality-based relationship with Main Roads is important. As I was appointed CEO in February 2021, I am relatively new to the region and understand that it can be a big decision to apply for a role in the Central West. I have found Barcaldine and the region to be very welcoming. Many people describe Barcaldine as a small town that punches well above its weight and I have found that to be very true. In addition to good health and education services, we have sporting and cultural options to suit almost everyone and our local businesses work hard to offer fresh produce and quality experiences. The town is supplied with great tasting water from the Great Artesian Basin, so we have a relatively plentiful supply, which means the town is inviting and green even in summer months. If you enjoy an aquatic lifestyle, Lake Dunn offers an ideal place for water activities and when we launch the new 3.5km water sports park, water skiing and stand-up paddle boarding will be very popular with locals and tourists alike. I am looking for three Works Supervisors who are passionate about safely leading people to achieve Council’s goals and keen for a challenge. In return you will be a valued member of my leadership team and I welcome your input and contributions towards our continually improving organisation.

    David Littleproud MP View this email in your browser A New Year I hope you had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends and you were able to relax with some New Year cheer! A new year means new beginnings and the parliamentary sittings are set to resume in a few weeks’ time. I’ll continue to work hard and be your voice in Federal Parliament and this Coalition Government has real plans to make our nation stronger and to better support you, your family, business and community. What it means to be Australian In the lead-up to Australia Day this week, I’ve found myself contemplating what it means to be Australian. Australian citizenship should be cherished and entering, or remaining, in Australia is a privilege. 1 We need to strengthen citizenship laws so they better align with Australian values. That’s why I strongly support a tougher citizenship test that would strengthen character requirements for any new potential Australian following concerns that Australia’s short-term visa pathways could be exploited by terrorists seeking access to our country. Immigration Minister Peter Dutton has also flagged other reforms for consideration, including dropping the age at which good character provisions apply for citizenship from 18 to 16 years. If young people are breaking the law, I don’t think they deserve to part of our society. At the end of the day, we have secure borders that are envied by most European countries because of this government’s strong stance on border protection. These reforms are really about making sure Australia remains safe and I strongly support any move by this government to make our citizenship rules more robust a priority when we head back to Canberra next month.

  • Longreach Info
    Nice to know!!! Some interesting information about Longreach and what you can do here. The Longreach Region, Capital of the Outback, incorporates the vibrant towns of Ilfracombe, Isisford, Yaraka and Longreach, each offering unique attractions: The traditional owners of the land are the Iningai people, accord- ing to records there are no known Iningai people in existence to- day. The Iningai people lived along the Thomson River from near Stonehenge to Muttaburra prior to European occupation. Innin- gai Park is a nature reserve that is part of the Longreach Town Common and includes sections of floodplain and waterholes along Gin Creek. Unfortunately, there are no recognized Iningai tradi- tional owners remaining. Several Indigenous families from the Barcaldine and Longreach areas are now the historical custodians of what is left of the Iningai culture; these people are the custodi- ans of the Iningai Keeping Place. Visit world class attractions in Longreach, Qantas Founders Mu- seum, Powerhouse Museum and the Australian Stockman’s Hall of Fame. Take a Cobb ‘n’ Co ride thru the scrub or a cruise on the Thomson River. Discover Ilfracombe, renowned throughout Australia for its pre- served history, the ‘Great Machinery Mile”, Langenbaker House, and the Historic Wellshot Hotel and Centre. Yaraka, offers an historical railway museum, with Mount Slowcombe a short distance away providing breathtaking views. Emmet has an interesting historical display and revamped railway Experience Isisford, home to “Isisfordia duncani” a pre-historic crocodile fossil housed in the Outer Barcoo Interpretive Centre, camp or fish along the Barcoo or stroll along St Mary’s Street and discover the many examples of pioneering heritage architecture.
