FOR almost 120 years, Neil Fisher's family have lived in, and been involved with, the north Rockhampton community.

The Division 2 councillor, who was elected in 2012, has represented the residents of Frenchville, Koongal and Mount Archer, while being involved with the school communities of Frenchville State School, Mount Archer State School, North Rockhampton Special School and North Rockhampton High School.

While the councillor's division has undergone a name change and gained new residents, Mr Fisher said he was excited to continually dedicate his time to representing the area.

The father of four who is also the chair of the Central Queensland airport/aerodrome owners group said he believed he possessed the ability, enthusiasm and dedication required to represent the people of Division 2, as well as the entire council, just as he had in the past.

"Prior to being elected in 2012, I became concerned that a council policy had greatly harmed the reputation of the Rockhampton region within the resource sector," he said.

"After being elected, and with the support of the council table, our council took a very proactive approach with the resource sector."

Mr Fisher, who owns Fisher's Nursery said he had already made a number of changes to divisional issues but certain ones needed further attention which he hopes he can address if elected again.
