Council considers less frequent meetings for Cloncurry Shire
At the Cloncurry Shire Council last meeting Dr Clarke of Mt Isa proposed holding council meetings less often. The idea, seen as economically sound, could reduce expense and possibly sidelines staff. Local ratepayers in No 1 Division oppose, noting high rates and limited councillor presence. Cr Katter would oversee affairs if adopted, with Mt Isa officials and limited train services complicating inspections. Petrol restrictions would further reduce visits by rural councillors.
