Thank you and farewell Mayor Katrina Humphries

She believed that respecting each other provided the best outcome in any situation.Standard & Poor’s LawsuitOne of the first things Cr Humphries dealt with as mayor was the Standard & Poor’s lawsuit.Alongside nearly 100 other Australian institutions, Moree Plains Shire Council had finances invested in Lehman Brothers - a bank backed by Standard & Poor’s, one of the world’s leading financial services companies. The CMA represents nearly 70 regional, rural and seaside councils and together they pool resources in matters that affect their communities.In the position, she helped spearhead initiatives such as in 2019, when working alongside Member for Northern Tablelands Adam Marshall, united Local Government representatives and saved the jobs of 182 rural energy industry workers.COVID-19 PandemicLike everywhere else in Australia and the world, Moree has been impacted by COVID-19. Because of it, people could again access much-needed necessities and services.Towards the FutureAs Mayor, Cr Humphries has been involved in projects that benefit all of the Moree Plains.Recently announced that its contract has been extended for another three years, the QantasLink, with 12 flights a week, makes it easier than ever before to travel between Moree and Sydney.Inland Rail is a 1,700 km long goods train line that will service Melbourne and Brisbane, and everywhere in between.
