From the Mayor's Desk: February 2025
11 February 2025
As we step into 2025, I want to acknowledge the strength of our community and the opportunities ahead.
Australia Day was a great success, and I extend my thanks to our Australia Day Ambassador, Alexandra Moore, for her time and inspiring presence. Congratulations to our 2025 Australia Day Award recipients - Judy Ridley, Citizen of the Year, and Gracie Leonard, Young Citizen of the Year - along with all other award winners. Whether through volunteering, leadership, or outstanding achievements, their contributions do not go unnoticed, and we thank them for their service.
Looking ahead, Council remains focused on delivering essential infrastructure, supporting local businesses, and ensuring our region remains strong. Like many rural councils, we face economic challenges, and we must be smart about how we allocate resources. My priority is to advocate for practical initiatives that drive investment, create opportunities and support our agricultural backbone.
I encourage everyone to stay involved by attending council meetings, sharing your views and supporting local events. Together, we’ll keep Warren Shire moving forward.
Wishing you all a successful and productive year ahead.
Greg Whiteley, Mayor
