Thank you for the people that could turn up Wednesday morning for the Gympie Regional Council meeting for the first general meeting with the newly elected councillors. It was good to see the majority of councillors sitting around the table demonstrated an interest in wanting to know more from council officers other than what was documented in the reports presented.
The meeting started with council staff refusing to place additional chairs for the excess number made available in the public gallery.
The agenda did not have an item listed regarding the fluoride petition that was tabled and discussed in the December 2023 meeting.
We the people have some questions for the CEO which were posted to the My Place Gympie Facebook page on Tuesday afternoon.
Thank you to everyone who turned up for the February Gympie Regional Council Ordinary Meeting. Although the numbers were a little less than usual, we still made our presence known as much of the discussion from the councillors was directed towards the public gallery with regards to the importance of the ratepayers and residences being informed and having their voice heard.

Well, wasn’t that a different atmosphere!! As we present ourselves every month for the past 11 months, legally, lawfully and peacefully the council CEO found it in himself to feel threatened that he required two (2) security guards to be present prior to the doors being opened to the public and remained for the duration of the meeting. One stood guard at the base of the stairs and the other at the entrance to the public meeting area.
