BROOKE Sauer is ready to serve Moree Plains Shire for another term after vote-counting and preference sorting was finalised last week.

And, she says, she’s armed with three key elements to make a difference.

“Being re-elected to council is a role I take very seriously and I’m honoured to represent the community armed with logic, common sense and fiscal responsibility,” Sauer said.

“I am humbled by the support of members of the Moree Plains community, who put faith in me and placed me high on their ballot paper.

“I am forever grateful to everyone for their unwavering support during the campaign, particularly my family, who patiently understood when dinner was late and unwaveringly shared my time with the community – that support will continue now that I’ve been re-elected,” she smiled.

“It is a great honour to represent the community with a voice at the table  for all of the Moree Plains.”

Sauer, who ran in a two-person group with fellow councillor Susannah Pearse, said she will oversee council’s new executive management team and ensure delivery of the Community Strategic Plan.

She wants a desirable and cohesive community, with a vibrant regional economy, and an environmentally stable shire with transformational leadership.

Brooke Sauer is armed with logic, common sense and fiscal responsibility as she embarks on a new term as a Moree Plains Shire councillor.

“I am passionate about the future of our beautiful shire,” Sauer said.

“We have plenty of work ahead of us, but I am really excited by the diversity within this new Council, each bringing fresh ideas and a variety of skills to the table.

“Congratulations to all candidates. It takes courage to put your hand up for change, be in the public spotlight and be open to criticism.”

Sauer is employed in Moree’s rich agriculture sector and heads research and development at PURE Grain, part of Boolah Farms near Pallamallawa.

“I look after Boolah’s 435ha trial farm, where we are investigating sustainable farming practices to meet sustainable and net-zero production targets,” she said.

“Stuart and Lyndall Tighe, and the team at Boolah, have provided me the flexibility to head up the research and development program as well as serve the community as a councillor, and for that I am forever thankful.”
