It would be the first of 16 years as mayor for Mrs Strelow. The well known identity sat down with
The Morning Bulletin last week for the first time since her sudden departure from the Rockhampton mayoral position in November. She spoke with fondness and pride about her successful and varied political career, sharing the highs and lows. Mrs Strelow first ran for a Rockhampton City councillor position in 1994 but was unsuccessful. She was, however, successful at the 1997 election and was voted in for the northside division, around Lakes Creek Rd and Elizabeth Park. I had to contest a Labor Party plebiscite to contest the division I lived in then, Mrs Strelow said of her first term in the council.

Gracemere’s paradise to get even better
One of the region’s most beautiful spots is set for an upgrade, with work beginning today on $1.35m of improvements for a Touch of Paradise in Gracemere’s Cedric Archer Park.
Acting Mayor Neil Fisher said this work would elevate Touch of Paradise to a whole new level.
“Over the past couple of years we have transformed this little corner of Gracemere by reshaping the lagoon, installing new pathways, and building a new 43 metre pedestrian bridge.
“The works we are starting now will pull all of these improvements together by repairing old footpaths, installing new shade structures, replacing seats and benches, and planting thousands of new trees and shrubs which will enhance the existing canopy.
