New coach, lots of laughs, a great holiday...
Remembering Pez. Trethowan Molong's longtime unofficial Mayor, friend and confidante to many, mentor, mate and best
Helen, Barbara, Pat and Jim, Edna, Yvonne, Vi, Colleen, Ann and Margot (leader) joined a group of residents from Cudal and Manildra on a special Cabonne tour of northern NSW, and Queensland recently. Returning home they all said what a wonderful time they had and enjoyed plenty of laughs together. Particularly with Cabonne Council's Margot Brown who with her jovial humour helps to organise (and entertain) grateful residents who love to head off on a holiday or attend one day events such as musicals and shows in Dubbo or Sydney - and to enjoy shorter tours of places like Lightning Ridge etc. Well done to the delightful Margot Brown and Cabonne Council's community development team on this worthwhile and much appreciated long-time initiative. Now safely back at home ... the keen travellers are now looking forward to their next outing.
Mayor, Deputy re-elected
Cabonne Council’s Mayor Kevin Beatty and Deputy Mayor Jamie Jones have been re-elected unopposed at an Ordinary Council meeting held in Molong on Tuesday, 26 September 2023. Their re-election continues an unchanged leadership team for Cabonne Council for the next 12 months, with the next Mayoral election to be held September 2024. Both Mayor Kevin Beatty and Deputy Mayor Jamie Jones are looking forward to working together over the next 12 months. “It’s an absolute honour and privilege to be able to represent the Cabonne Community for another term and is a role I don’t take lightly. I would like to congratulate Cr Jamie Jones on his reappointment as the Deputy Mayor for another term. Your assistance over the past 12 months has been greatly appreciated as we have navigated the difficult times our communities have endured”, Mayor Kevin Beatty said. "I want to also acknowledge and thank the other Councillors for their ongoing support. Despite a very difficult period, our

Council team is a one focused on getting the job done. Whilst not all of the community may agree with every decision made, we are a team that does make decisions, and these decisions are progressing Cabonne", Mayor Kevin Beatty said. “It is a pleasure to be appointed Deputy Mayor again and to work alongside the re-elected Mayor, Kevin Beatty" said Cr. Jones. "I look forward to working together to progress projects within our community. The last 12 months have been the most difficult year Council has ever faced, following years of droughts, bushfires and COVID-19. We will continue to face challenges, but I am confident that we will continue to push the envelope to get projects delivered to our communities”, said Deputy Mayor Jamie Jones. Both the Mayor, Deputy Mayor and the broader Council team will continue to lobby on behalf of Cabonne communities to deliver infrastructure and services needed following the devastating floods, as well as continuing to seek funding opportunities to ensure Cabonne communities continue to grow and thrive.
