Second Glance is back at Burnie Arts, and this time it’s staying.

City Mission North & North West TAS and Council have locked in a two-year partnership to run the market quarterly, after the first one back in July pulled a proper crowd. People came for a bargain and stayed to browse, chat and give a pre-loved piece somewhere new to go.

City Mission will run the market. Council will provide the venue in Burnie Arts. Simple partnership, great outcome.

Lock it in your calendar 📆
Next one’s Saturday 31 October, 12 to 3pm at Burnie Arts.

Head to City Mission’s page for stallholder bookings and details:

It is with a heavy heart that it’s official that David Pease won’t be standing for re-election in October.

I have enormous respect for David and what he has given our City, including eight years on Council.

He has always been a voice of reason and a fierce champion for Burnie and he has helped turn our City’s finances around. It is a legacy to be proud of.

I’ve had the good fortune of sitting next to him this last term. In a job where it’s easy to dig in and defend your corner, David always did the opposite. Willing to discuss, willing to challenge an idea, willing to grow. I found his approach incredibly refreshing, every time.

Over that time he’s become a friend and a trusted colleague, and if I’m re elected I’ll really miss serving alongside him.

Good news is he isn’t going far. We will still find him in A.H. Pease Shoe Stores. The man loves a chocolate milkshake, and I’ll be making sure we still catch up over one.

David, you will be sorely missed. Thank you for everything you’ve given this city.

Please join me in congratulating David on his service.

Campaigning is always better with a little help from the next generation.

Love seeing these girls out and about, having a laugh and showing their support.

Apparently the signs weren’t obvious enough so they’ve provided some helpful guidance on who to vote for.

Want to know what I see for Burnie’s next four years?

Financial sustainability and radical transparency so you can see where every rates dollar goes.

Renewing what we have and building what comes next, so our parks, roads and spaces keep working for the people who use them.

And a city centre people love spending time in and businesses want to invest in. A city that feels good to be in is one that grows, and when it grows, we all win.

This is the Burnie I can see, and I would love your support getting us there.

Have a watch, and if it sounds like your kind of Burnie, please share it. Every share helps spread the word.

Burnie, it has been a real honour to serve as Councillor. I’d be so proud to serve as your Deputy Mayor.

🪧 A fair few of my signs have been going walk about lately which is a little frustrating (and expensive).

So, on Saturday, I wore my sign to Burnie parkrun. If anyone wants to steal this one, you’ll have to catch me first!

(but in all seriousness, if anyone wants a photo of me so badly, I’m happy to take one with you 🤣)

💃🏻 Burnie’s Nepalese community opened their arms last night at the Teej Festival, and what a celebration it was.

Teej celebrates women, culture, and the kind of joy that comes from a whole community showing up for each other. The dancing didn’t stop. The generosity didn’t either.

Thank you to everyone who welcomed me in and let me be part of something so alive.

🧬 Congratulations to Monica Edwards, who earlier this week was awarded the Tasmanian STEM Early Education Award.

Monica is someone who is building curiosity in our young people before many of them even hear the word STEM.

Teachers like Monica are the reason some kids grow up believing they can build, question, and solve. That’s no small feat.

Congratulations, Monica. Burnie and footprints_early_intervention is lucky to have you in our classrooms.
