Northern Tasmania does it again as George Town shows the way with its persistence. Not to be deterred by a noisy minority the Mayor and GM soldiered on to get the money spent. Right now that is what is important, getting the money spent and getting a hub.
When history gets thrown at you, you need to inform the throwers that there really isn’t all that much that you can do about history right now but there are lots of things to be done right now.
Launceston’s GM has used this as a mantra for a long time and it is good to see it being heeded down the river at George Town.
Against adversity Cr. Broomhall is maintaining his focus on the future and putting the past behind him. That’s leadership for you!
He has his hand on the tiller and he knows that things are looking very good for George Town into the future.
It is time for the town’s detractors to get out of the way. If they cannot say something positive it would be greatly appreciated if they played a part in getting things going again even if it is against adversity.
In the scheme of things $6.4 million is nothing to be sneezed at. George Town Council has known that for a very long time and has put its shoulder to the wheel to win the money even if it will be 2015 before the prize is on the shelf. Other councils in the region could very well learn from George Town.
