Cherbourg Council has adopted a “rotational” system for its Deputy Mayor role, similar to the one implemented by the South Burnett Regional Council at the start of this latest term.
Cherbourg Mayor Bruce Simpson said Cr Gordon Wragge had now taken on the role, replacing Cr Carla Fisher who was appointed at the start of the term.
“As part of our commitment to inclusive and progressive governance, the Cherbourg Aboriginal Shire Council has implemented a rotational system for the Deputy Mayor position,” Mayor Simpson said.
“This initiative ensures that each councillor has the opportunity to contribute to our community’s leadership, fostering diverse perspectives and shared responsibility.
“Over the past year, Cr Carla FIsher has served diligently as Deputy Mayor, bringing valuable insights and dedication to the role.
“We extend our heartfelt gratitude for her service.
“We are now pleased to announce that Councillor Gordy Wragge has stepped into the position of Deputy Mayor for his term.
“This approach not only keeps our leadership dynamic but also strengthens our collective ability to address the needs and aspirations of the Cherbourg community.”
