MAYOR’S CHRISTMAS MESSAGE
The festive season is upon us again and, as 2021 draws to a close, I would like to pass on my most sincere appreciation to residents and friends of the Mareeba Shire.
The past few years have been tumultuous for many, and I truly hope you can refl ect on the joyful times shared throughout the year.
Looking back on 2021, I am incredibly proud of the accomplishments of members of our community.
The volunteerism and resilience shown has been truly extraordinary.
There are also many achievements by Mareeba Shire Council that I am honoured to be a part of including the opening of the new Mareeba Animal Management Facility, relocation of the Mareeba Library and opening of the Cedric Davies Community Hub as well as the new water infrastructure built at Chillagoe.
These projects were made possible with contributions by the State and Federal governments and Council.
Although we are still feeling the impacts of the COVID pandemic, I am proud to see how the community has responded to the changing circumstances. As Mayor I thank everyone for doing their bit to keep us safe.
It is my hope this holiday season, you spend quality time with family and friends. Reach out to those who are less fortunate in our community and take the time to connect with those who may be feeling overwhelmed or isolated.
Please stay safe and enjoy a wonderful Christmas and New Year. On behalf of the Councillors, I wish you a Merry Christmas and all the very best for 2022.
Cr Angela Toppin Mayor
