The Hawkesbury Gazette is inviting residents to have their say in our latest community conversation:
If you were the Mayor for a day, what would you do to make the Hawkesbury an even better place to live, work, and raise a family?
Would you fix our roads? Cut red tape for small business? Push for better childcare, transport, and healthcare? Or maybe you’d focus on tourism, local jobs, or restoring trust and transparency in Council?
Across our towns and villages — from Kurrajong to Wilberforce, Bilpin to Pitt Town, and North Richmond to Wiseman’s Ferry and out to Colo Heights — everyone has an idea about how things could be improved. This is your chance to share it.
A Community Ready for Fresh Ideas
With Council elections now a year ago and ongoing debates about development, infrastructure, and disaster preparedness, residents are increasingly asking whether the priorities of local government truly reflect community needs.
Many feel decisions are made behind closed doors or that everyday voices are ignored. That’s why the Hawkesbury Gazette is handing the microphone to you.
How to Take Part
Tell us:
👉 If you were Mayor for a day, what would you do first?
👉 What change would make the biggest difference in your neighbourhood?
👉 How should Council better serve the people it represents?
You can send your ideas via email to editor@hawkesburygazette.au, message us on our Facebook page, or drop a note at any participating local business displaying the “Mayor for a Day” poster.
Selected responses will be featured in our next edition and shared with councillors, community leaders, and the local business community through our online and print publication.
Because Good Ideas Belong to Everyone
The best change often starts with a simple idea. Whether it’s improving footpaths, saving our heritage, supporting local farmers, or ensuring our region gets its fair share of investment your voice matters.
Let’s imagine a better Hawkesbury together. If you were Mayor for a day… what would you do?
