Cooroy gets seat on De-amalgamation Advisory Committee THE Hon David Crissafuli, Minister for Local Government, Community Recovery & Resilience recently requested the Cooroy Chamber of Commerce Inc to recommend someone from their executive to be on the Local Advisory Committee for the Noosa de-amalgamation. “The Cooroy Chamber is proud to be involved in this process and sees it as an endorsement of the work that has been done by the Chamber for both its members and the wider community over the last 30 plus years,” said Danielle Taylor, President of Cooroy Chamber of Commerce Inc. For many years now the Cooroy Chamber has been a voice for the community as well as business and has been involved in many projects that have served the betterment of the community such as the Cooroy Lower Mill Board, the Cooroy Library, upgrade of Apex Park, public meetings, working groups and community events. They have a good track record of community involvement and also have many community groups that are members. The Chamber Executive’s nomination was Danielle Taylor to be the representative on the committee as they felt her involvement with both businesses and local community groups throughout the hinterland and the Noosa region would be beneficial to the process. This recommendation has been confirmed and the first meeting of the Local Advisory Committee was held this week. Danielle explained, “Our role is to provide advice to the Transfer Manager, Peter Franks on local matters to assist him in carrying out his role. We will be meeting at least once a month or more often if needed. We are also going to organise a public meeting at Cooroy which Peter Franks has agreed to attend in about six weeks and we encourage everyone to come along to find out more about the process. And we urge everyone to check the news section of the Cooroy website (www.cooroy.com.au) regularly as we will place any relevant information there. Also, Mr Franks has indicated he is very open to be contacted directly with any issues.”
