The QLD government might have sold them a dump by downgrading their hospital but even that won’t stop this progressive north Queensland community.
Richmond Shire Council is selling housing blocks in the town for $1. The 600 sq metre housing blocks are fully serviced with bitumen road frontage, power , water and sewerage.
The land grab happens on the 6th of October.
Richmond Council CEO Michelle Clarke [pictured] is no dummy. Michelle has a Bachelor of Law and Administration, Newcastle University NSW.
Speaking about the promotion she said:
.
“We’ve decided that we want to help people out for $1 in the hope that in return they will build a home and move to Richmond and maybe offer some skills in the town.
Ideally it would be good to get some people with some skills – we don’t have a vet, we don’t have a hairdresser, and we’re always looking for truck drivers and people with trades.”
Michelle and the Richmond Councilors Mayor John Wharton, Cr Joan Harris, Cr Rob Ievers, Cr Stephen Singles, Cr June Kuhl are worthy winners of todays Agmates “Onya” award.
“Onya” for this great innovative idea and in the true Aussie spirit – having a go.
