As the State Government announces their budget, Council too are working to sign off on an agreed budget for our region for 2017/18.
 
The timing is right for the Gympie region to benefit from considerable growth and prosperity given it is perfectly placed to deliver a sustainable local budget. 
 
We have listened to residents about roads, we have listened about tourism and economic opportunity and we are focussed on delivering a budget that drives job growth and success.
 
Council is building on the strength and diversity of what has been an excellent year for our region.
 
We know that all successful cities and regions must proactively promote their people, location, history, quality of place, lifestyle, culture and diversity. We also know that they must articulate a compelling vision for the future. 
 
The next year will see our Council building on our regional brand to deliver tourism, agricultural and economic growth. 

Cr. Mick Curran, Mayor
