“As I continue to take on the role of Mayor, I want to assure the community that I remain committed to making the Glen Innes Severn Council area the best place to live, work and foster a great family life, “Cr Banham said.

“Our community is rich in history, culture and natural beauty, and it’s our mission to preserve and enhance these assets for generations to come. Your voices matter, and I encourage you to engage with me and your Councillors; so together, we can achieve our vision to build a brighter future for Glen Innes Severn Council,” he said.
