Paul Makin attends the Council’s Ordinary Meeting today and has his say

Douglas Shire Council held an Ordinary Meeting today and although we were given scant clues to the possible use of that controversial block of land in the Daintree that Council bought with ratepayers money, no real 'details' emerged. A positive move to assist victims of domestic abuse by providing them with accommodation in the Shire, something long overdue. There's still no plan to shore up water security for the Shire, just a talk fest. The local media was lampooned by one councillor for not saying enough positive things about the current Council and their 'many' great achievements and the Wonga Beach 'hoons' and their out of control quad bikes was brought up again. Wonga-ites have had a gutful but still no real action by Council on that front either. A Wonga local has his say. A Wangetti Trail update and the local Chamber Of Commerce approached Council for a small grant.
