Cr Kathy Duff - Mayor

Mayor Kathy Duff grew up on the family property “Di Di” Station that was selected in 1916 by her Grandfather John Patrick Duff who also served as a Councillor.  A strong family history of supporting our region, Kathy’s brother was also a Councillor on the former Wondai Council.  Kathy runs her own cattle grazing and timber business.  She has a keen interest in the equine industry including judging horses at local Shows as well as pursuing her hobby as a Silversmith when she can find time.  Kathy is involved in numerous community organisations and in 2019 at the Local Government Conference in Cairns she received the prestigious Peak Services Butch Lenton Award for her work helping to rebuild the town of Proston. In 2023 Kathy was honoured to receive the Weekly Times and Harvey Norman Shine Award for dedication. This award celebrates rural women across Australia.

Mayor Duff is honoured to have been elected to serve as the first female Mayor of the South Burnett. She believes that the South Burnett is a dynamic region with huge opportunities for growth.  Mayor Duff is keen to support existing businesses but also to attract new industries and growth for the region. She is passionate about everyone working together as a region but she is also keen to ensure that individual towns, small villages and rural communities all get a strong voice across the Council table.
