For Immediate Release 20 May 2025
Authorised by Councillor Jake Davis
First of all, I want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported me during the May federal election. It was an incredible learning experience – I met so many passionate Australians committed to making a difference for our country. I truly appreciate every message, handshake, and conversation.
In fantastic news for our region, 16 new paramedics have been allocated to the Hilltops! This means our Young Ambulance Station will now be able to operate 24 hours a day. This is a huge win for our community, especially as the Hilltops continues to grow and attract new families who want to call this beautiful region home.
ANZAC Day was another reminder of the strength and pride of our community. I attended the dawn service at Koorawatha, where they put on a fantastic ceremony, and I had the honour of laying the wreath. Later, I joined the Young ANZAC Day service, which had its biggest turnout in years. It was a powerful day of remembrance. As someone who firmly supports ANZAC Day and Australia Day, I believe we must never forget the sacrifices our soldiers made. We owe them our freedom and way of life.
We also recently held a Development Control Plan (DCP) meeting to improve the planning and building process across the Hilltops. We’re making solid progress. This document will help streamline development for local builders, developers, and families looking to build their future here. It won’t happen overnight, but I can promise you that council staff and councillors are working hard to get it right.
Until next time – take care and thank you for your continued support.
Councillor Jake Davis
