Indigenous Affairs Portfolio Report - 20 July 2016

Councillor Potter and I attended the NAIDOC Open Day celebrations at Cherbourg. Through my Indigenous Affairs budget I helped to sponsor the Bush Tucker and the BBQ.  It was a successful day in spite of the rainy weather with one of the highlights being the traditional dancing including the Wakka Wakka Dancers and also the high school students from Kingaroy known as the Kingaroy Sista girls who did a very special performance.

Since the last Council Meeting we have successfully hosted the Cherbourg Councillors and Senior Staff here in Kingaroy for a meet and greet, discussion and luncheon. We hope to continue these meetings into the future and Cherbourg Council will arrange the next one to be held at the Cherbourg Council Chambers.
