Cr Burnett noted the passing of local Agnes Water man Lindsay Evans on 16 April

achievements of the newly constructed cenotaph in which he worked closely with

COUNCILLOR REPORTS
G/6.1
COUNCILLORS' REPORT - MAYOR GAIL SELLERS
Purpose:
Cr Sellers submits the following report.
ANZAC Services
The Troop Train visit was organised by our Federal Member, Mr Ken O'Dowd with
Gladstone local, Graham McVean who was the ANZAC Troop Train Committee
President. The trip retraced the original journey taken by regional Queenslanders who
enlisted to fight in World War 1. The 1956 heritage locomotive Bety, with nine restored
carriages, left Winton on Monday 20 April and arrived at Brisbane's Roma Street
Station on Friday. The community greatly enjoyed the arrival of the steam train, the
costumes of the passengers, and the Street Re-enactment March which followed.
ANZAC Day in 2015 was 100 years, to the day, that Australian and New Zealand Army
Corps soldiers, along with other allied nations, stormed the beach at the Gallipoli
peninsula. Australia had only been a federal commonwealth for 13 years and this first
major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First
World War, was significant in the coming of age of both nations. During World War 1
Military Crosses were awarded to two Gladstone locals Lieutenant Roderick George
McLeod and Captain Charles Henry King. Services were held across the Gladstone
Region and it was pleasing to note the large increase of numbers in attendance and
the representation of the young members of our community.

GLADSTONE REGIONAL COUNCIL GENERAL MEETING MINUTES - 5 MAY 2015
Surf Life Saving QLD Memorial Day
On Sunday April 26th, I attended a Memorial Day at Tannum Sands Lifesaving Club.
There were representatives from Yeppoon, Emu Park, Agnes Water, Bundaberg and
Elliot Heads Life Saving Squads. The ceremony is held on the last day of the patrolling
season. It is a time to remember those who have lost their lives in Queensland waters
and to farewell members of the Life Saving family who are no longer with us.
iLab Regional Innovation Seminar
On 30th April I opened a regional roadshow workshop which aimed to identify those
leaders, future entrepreneurs and innovators who are looking to develop a technologybased business idea in the Gladstone Region. The session identified avenues to
obtain both State and Federal Government Funding. It is hoped that the community
will respond and that there will be a Startup Weekend Workshop held in September.
Officer's Recommendation:
That the report be received.
G/ 15/ 2412
Council Resolution:
Moved Cr Hansen
Seconded Cr Brushe
That the Officer's Recommendation be adopted.
CARRIED
THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL REPORTS RECEIVED FROM THE FLOOR OF THE
MEETING
ANZAC Day Commemoration Services
Cr Brushe added to the Mayor's report regarding ANZAC Day commemoration
Services thanking Parks staff for their efforts and noting the good condition of the all
the cenotaphs across the Region in time for the 100th anniversary of the landing at
Gallipoli. She commended the community on their representation and attendance at
services and said that she thought the community appreciated the work involved to
have the cenotaphs ready. Cr Brushe advised that the Ubobo area along with ANZAC
Day service marked the 60th anniversary of the Ubobo Memorial Hall and had an
excellent display in the Hall from the 1st and 2nd World Wars. She congratulated all the
RSL sub branches on their work and the excellent job they did in getting ready for
ANZAC Day. Cr Chapman endorsed Cr Brushe's comments.
