Since taking over as mayor earlier this year, I’ve had the pleasure of immersing myself in the local sporting community through the Mayor’s Sporting Fund program.

I am amazed at the outstanding young local sporting talent we have.
To further support our rising local sports stars and thriving sporting community, two exciting new developments were endorsed by council last week that will continue to nurture local talent, and build upon our reputation as a growing regional sporting hub.
The development of the Thrumster Sports Fields was endorsed with in-principle support given to Football Mid North Coast to develop a high performance training facility at the fields, a great boost for grassroots football in our region.
Rugby and cricket teams who call the Oxley Oval home should also be excited, with $300,000 allocated to building a new clubhouse including new seating, change rooms, canteen and bar facilities.
There’s so much going on across our region right now in the sports arena, and I can’t wait to see these developments, and many more unfold in 2018.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
On behalf of myself, Councillors and all Council staff, I would like to wish everyone in our community a merry Christmas and a very happy New Year.
What a year 2017 has been. I’m incredibly humbled and honoured to have been given the opportunity to represent our community in what is a great time for our region.
While many of us will be staying home with family and friends to celebrate the festive season, many will also be travelling far and wide to visit loved ones.
Please, stay safe and take your time driving over the busy holiday period.
Remember to take a break every two hours and keep your mobile phone out of sight and out of mind.
Once again, have a great festive season.
