Cairns Shire Overseer Contracts Upheld Amid Salary Debate

Cairns Shire Council retains services for an overseer with a 2100 per year salary amid questions over certification and past performance. Debate centers on appointing a certificated engineer to supervise Main Roads work, with the council noting the present overseer, Mr. Hannam, has performed well and the village faces a substantial project cost.
