FAB FM's Paul Makin Trying To Get The Bottom Of Claims That DSC Councillors Are Not Getting All The Information Before Voting - Dep Mayor Lisa Scomazzon & Mayor Michael Kerr Help Paul Sort It Out

FAB FM's Paul Makin revisits a vote at the last Douglas Shire Council meeting to rescind part of a previous unanimous decision by Councillors to give the green light to a developer to make application to the State Government to close a road reserve in Port Douglas. Councillors Noli, Zammataro and Deputy Mayor Lisa Scomazzon voted to reverse the previous decision despite the fact the road is not Council owned. The Deputy Mayor says lack of information at the Council meeting in December last year is the major reason for her change of heart. It's not the first time the Deputy has voiced her frustration over information provided . Paul chats with Lisa and brings in the Mayor Michael Kerr for his response to her claims. The link to the DA application published on the Douglas Shire Council website on the 2nd December is below. https://douglas.qld.gov.au/development-applications/

They were located at the Port Village Shopping Centre but Bendigo Bank has now shifted it's staff into a brand spanking new branch in the main street. The opening was a low key affair for the bank which also has had a change of livery. Bendigo Bank branches are located in Port Douglas and Mossman and it's interesting to note that they are the only major bank at the two locations. While other big banks come and go,  Bendigo Bank is here to stay. FAB FM was invited to  the opening so Paul Makin listened in on the speeches. https://www.bendigobank.com.au/branch/qld/bendigo-bank-port-douglas/
