Councillor Update

Mareeba Shire Councillor Lachlan (Locky) Bensted

I am pleased to provide an update to residents and ratepayers on some of the latest news from Council.

Great Wheelbarrow Race

Nominations are open for the Mareeba & Dimbulah Community Bank Great Wheelbarrow Race 2023.

As the Chair of the race, I look forward to being back on the road to celebrate the twentieth anniversary year in 2023. The race is not about what position you come in, it is about being part of an exciting and unique event that supports many small communities.

The race kicks off on Friday, 12 May 2023 in Mareeba and will conclude on Sunday, 14 May 2023 in Chillagoe. Teams can look forward to the Friday night where they are treated to the incredible community spirit in Dimbulah and the unbeatable country hospitality in Almaden on the Saturday night. These nights are great fun for all involved!

Why not join us on the road in 2023 for the twentieth
