ON behalf of the Council and our wider community, I would like to acknowledge and thank Canegrowers Herbert Chairman Michael Pisano (1989-2022) and Canegrowers Director Jeff Cantamessa (1998- 2022) for near on 60 years of continuous service representing our district as Canegrower representatives.
Michael and Jeff retired last Friday, April 15, 2022.
Both men have been major contributors to industry policy and governance and I thank them for their diligence and perseverance in continuously pushing the grower cause in more often than not, quite challenging and intense circumstances.
We wish you all the best in retirement. Congratulations on a job well done. Have Your Say on the Naming of the Dutton Street Culvert Crossing
