I am pleased to provide an update on the progress and activities of the Western Queensland Drought Committee Inc, over the past year. We have achieved significant milestones, and the dedication of our committee and members continues to drive positive outcomes for our community.
FRRR Project – Our Legacy Our Future – When the Dust Settles
1. Community Database ProgressThe development of our community database is progressing exceptionally well. This tool will be invaluable in streamlining communication and ensuring we remain connected with our members and stakeholders.
2. Community Engagement Across the RAPAD RegionOur involvement in various events throughout the RAPAD region has been a highlight. These included agricultural shows, community balls, Christmas events, and first aid training days. Attendance at these events was strong, and they provided an excellent opportunity for engagement and building community resilience.
AcknowledgmentsA special thanks to Nicki Heslin and Julie Little for their outstanding commitment to this project. Their exceptional attention to detail in managing office operations and data has been instrumental to our success.
Office RelocationWe successfully relocated our office to The Hub. This move provides a more central and accessible base for our operations, ensuring we can better serve our community.
New MembersIt is encouraging to report that we have attracted new members to our committee. Growing our membership base will remain a priority as we move forward, as it is critical to ensuring the long-term sustainability of our organization.
In closing, I would like to extend my gratitude to the entire committee, our volunteers, and community members who have supported us throughout the year. Together, we continue to build a stronger, more resilient Western Queensland.
