South Burnett councillors are going to be kept even busier – and wearing more hats – following the creation of five new portfolios at today’s Council meeting.<\/p>\n

Mayor Wayne Kratzmann also announced a re-shuffle of the original 10 portfolios created after the 2012 council election.<\/p>\n

The new portfolios created today are:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Communities<\/li>\n
  • Information Technology<\/li>\n
  • Property<\/li>\n
  • Sport and Recreation, and…<\/li>\n
  • Indigenous Affairs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    They’ll join the SBRC’s existing 10 portfolios: <\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Governance<\/li>\n
    • Economic Development and Tourism<\/li>\n
    • Finance<\/li>\n
    • Roads<\/li>\n
    • Water and Wastewater<\/li>\n
    • Planning<\/li>\n
    • Waste<\/li>\n
    • Art, Culture and Heritage<\/li>\n
    • Natural Resource Management<\/li>\n
    • Parks and Environment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Mayor Kratzmann will continue to chair the Governance and Economic Development & Tourism portfolios, while Deputy Mayor Keith Campbell will continue to chair Finance and take on the new Communities portfolio.<\/p>\n

      Cr Damien Tessmann will drive the Roads portfolio, while Cr Debra Palmer will move out of Arts, Culture and Heritage to take on two completely new portfolios: Property and Information Technology.<\/p>\n

      Cr Barry Green will continue as chair of Water and Wastewater, and also take on leadership of the newly created Sport and Recreation portfolio.<\/p>\n

      Cr Cheryl Dalton will retain the Planning and Waste portfolios, and resume her former role as head of Arts, Culture and Heritage.<\/p>\n

      Cr Kathy Duff will continue her role as chair of the Natural Resources Management and Parks Environment portfolios, and also take on the new Indigenous Affairs portfolio.<\/p>\n

      Cr Kratzmann said the reallocation of some existing portfolios and the introduction of new ones was simply a case of “fine tuning” a system that was “working very well”.<\/p>\n

      He said the new portfolios recognised there were some areas of Council’s operations that merited more specialised attention.<\/p>\n

      The pottfolio changes also affect which councillors will represent the SBRC on internal and external committees:<\/p>\n
