The GM ’ s Desk
Message from the General Manager June 2021
Bre Big Fish Council has again been a major sponsor of another successful Bre Big Fish weekend and it was pleasing to see the crowds of tourists in town all angling for a bite at the prizes on offer . Council ’ s promotion of the event by John Laws on the radio , in the press and on east coast TV has obviously been a very successful hook , to reel in the visitors . Well done to the organizing committee who will , I guess , immediately be off planning for next year ’ s event .
Vice Regal Visit The Mayor Phillip O ’ Connor and Chairman of the Brewarrina Local Aboriginal Lands Council David Kirby were very pleased to welcome Her Excellency Margaret Beazley AC , QC Governor of NSW and her husband Mr . Dennis Wilson to Brewarrina . It was indeed an honour to meet such warm , interesting and inviting dignitaries to our Shire . Her Excellency spent over two days in the Shire visiting several schools , the Aboriginal Cultural Museum , Orana Haven rehabilitation centre , Narran Lakes , the Goodooga artesian bore baths and the Harold West Memorial . I , along with many others the Governor met and came into contact with , were humbled and impressed by her genuine compassion and interest in what was happening in our community . Mr . Dennis Wilson , who is a distinguished barrister , also recalled swimming in the Brewarrina Pool on the day of its opening and I hear is looking forward to a return trip for a spot of fishing .
Elections Candidate Information Night It was pleasing to see that three potential candidates took the opportunity to attend the candidate information night and were provided with an informative presentation from Mr . Graeme Fleming on what it means to become a Councillor . The Mayor also provided some insight into the expectations on being a Councillor . For those who are interested there are copies of the presentation together with the candidate information pack available from the Council office or can be downloaded from the Council ’ s website :
