There is a new police boss in town and he is looking to point Capricornia in the right direction.
Superintendent Glen Pointing fills the role of District Officer of the Capricornia Police District, taking over from Ron Van Saane who retired last month.
Sitting down with The Morning Bulletin during his first week last week, Superintendent Pointing was finding his feet in the new role.
The Capricornia district oversees 33 police divisions across 104,859 sqm including Agnes Water, Anakie, Baralaba, Biloela, Blackwater, Calliope, Capella, Duaringa, Emerald, Emu Park, Gladstone, Goovigen, Gracemere, Lakes Creek, Many Peaks, Marlborough, Marmor, Miriam Vale, Mount Larcom, Mount Morgan, Moura, North Rockhampton, Rockhampton, Rolleston, Rosedale, Springsure, Tannum Sands, Theodore, Tieri, Westwood, Woorabinda, Wowan and Yeppoon.

The Gladstone Regional Council voted unanimously to award Miriam Vale Plant Hire the contract for improvements to Blackman s Gap Rd.

Cr Desley O Grady said she backed Cr Goodluck s comments and said she had travelled that road a number of times lately.
