Gladstone Regional Council (GRC) recently launched a campaign to showcase some of their
employee achievements and why they are proud to work for Council.
The campaign was created to meet one of the GRC corporate goals as outlined within their 2021-
2026 Corporate Plan which states ‘we look after our people, so they look after you’ – with ‘you’ being
residents within the Gladstone Region.
The region encompasses communities in the urban centres of Gladstone and Tannum Sands/Boyne Island, plus the smaller towns of Agnes Water, Ambrose, Baffle Creek, Benaraby, Bororen, Builyan, Calliope, Lowmead, Miriam Vale, Mount Larcom, Many Peaks, Nagoorin, Raglan, Rosedale, Seventeen Seventy, Turkey Beach, Ubobo and Yarwun. The Gladstone region is also home to small communities on Curtis Island and Facing Island.
Employees are encouraged to share their career and personal achievements as well as what makes
them proud to work for GRC.
Employee recipients of the Council’s quarterly ‘SERVICE’ Awards are also featured in the campaign. Their stories are communicated internally within Council’s intranet, newsletter, and digital screens, and externally with the community through Council’s social media platforms, under the hashtag #ProudlyGRC.
Speaking on the campaign, Chief Executive Officer Gladstone Regional Council, Leisa Dowling, said,
“One of the key aims of the #ProudlyGRC campaign is to highlight the outstanding contributions of
GRC employees to their local communities in diverse areas including water and waste management,
roads, parks, customer service, legal/regulations, economic and community development, disaster
recovery, strategic grants, environment and conservation, biosecurity, and more.”
To further reinforce the campaign, GRC developed #ProudlyGRC branded face masks for employees
and decals for Council vehicles and plant equipment. GRC plans to feature at least 30 employees
across the region this year.
