COUNCILLOR COLUMN
For Immediate Release 5 August 2025 Authorised by Councillor Jake Davis
In June, I had the honour of stepping in for the Mayor to attend the official opening of the Taylors Flat Rural Fire Brigade station. It was a privilege to take part in the event and meet some of our incredible local heroes – volunteers who dedicate their time and risk their lives to protect our homes and communities. Their service is a powerful reminder of the strength and spirit of our region.
At our most recent Council meeting, we approved the long-awaited Apollo extension. This is a great outcome for the Hilltops. The project will not only improve road access and safety but will also create future job opportunities and support long-term growth in our area.
The new Young Cemetery is also taking shape. This has been a key priority, and I want to acknowledge the hard work of Council staff and fellow councillors in making sure it’s done right and with respect for our community’s needs.
I was also honoured to be elected by my fellow councillors to attend the 2025 Local Government NSW Annual Conference in November, alongside the Mayor. It’s a great opportunity to connect with councillors and mayors from across NSW, share ideas, and bring back valuable insights to support our region.
