Across the State it is unheralded for all councillors in a region to be re-elected.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mayor Wayne Kratzmann welcomed the opportunity to have a discussion with the Minister about the relationship between the two tiers of government.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The councillors were very interested in knowing what we can do to help the Minister and what changes were planned for the Local Government Act,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We had an in-depth meeting with Minister Crisafulli. It was refreshing to talk with a Minister who really understands local government.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cr Kratzmann asked Mr Crisafulli how the SBRC could assist the Minister in his role.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have visited over 60 councils and I have never been asked that question. I am glad this chair has sides on it or otherwise I would have fallen off,&#8221; Mr Crisafulli said.<\/p>\n<p>He encouraged Council to continue to work in partnership with Member for Nanango Deb Frecklington and Deputy Premier Jeff Seeney.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am impressed by pro-development councils. I detest party politics in local government and it&#8217;s great to see local MPs and council heading in the same direction.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related articles:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/southburnett.com.au\/news2\/2012\/07\/local-government-mp-drops-in\/\">Local Government MP Drops In<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/southburnett.com.au\/news2\/2012\/07\/mps-survey-reveals-south-burnett-still-unhappy-with-amalgamation\/\">MP\u2019s Survey Reveals South Burnett Still Unhappy With Amalgamation<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Local Government David Crisafulli has praised the South Burnett Regional Council for the way it has handled the forced amalgamation of four local shires.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":7314,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[22,3],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.11 -
