Deanna Beatson will top the list, followed by Dave Bauer, Grant Mathers, Leyland Barnett, and Christian Shepherd.
Present at the Rockhampton Showgrounds for the draw were Ms Beatson with her daughters, as well as Mr Mathers, and Mr Barnett.
Mr Mathers, the brother of councillor Cherie Rutherford, said he had spent his whole life in division 3 and would listen to the concerns of its constituents.
But he began by speaking about road safety, crime, and the cost of living in Rockhampton.
“Cost of living is something that’s very important to me as well as a single dad with two lads still at home with me,” he said.

Why do we need to make our community safe? To encourage investment into our region, we need to ensure that our region has a safe economic platform as well as a personal safety platform. Ask yourself a simple question: would you move into an environment of high crime and low employment opportunities? I surely wouldn t. To move our region forward we need to encourage industry growth to create local jobs that will change a lot of lives; lives that have hope; lives that prosper; and lives that don t turn to crime. Crime needs to be tackled at the root cause, to prevent lives being lost to an uncertain future, which creates more despair and destruction in our community.
Be aware of your surroundings when driving It is a real concern in regards to young juvenile repeat offenders being let off in the courts to be let out and repeat crimes without any fear of consequences for themselves or the community. Serious changes need to be made to the Juvenile Justice Act in order to address this problem, however in relation to road safety what we can do, is do our best to minimise risk to ourselves and other road users if we encounter a situation of a desperate young criminal ploughing recklessly through our suburbs. We need to be aware of our surroundings when driving, by not only looking way ahead but also checking mirrors to see what is happening behind us as well.
