Queensland Volunteer of the Year
Queensland Sport Volunteer of the Year
Lori Burgess Community Volunteer Award
NQ Sportstar Volunteer of the Year Award
Special Olympics Australia Community Hero
Strong foundations are built by people who share your passion. Being a member of local sporting clubs and being active in Special Olympics means I understand the importance of physical and mental health for everybody.
In 2020, when people were looking for the pandemic to be over, I orchestrated online events for Special Olympics athletes. I encouraged skill-building when sport was still banned to maintain a positive mindset. Special Olympics Australia awarded me the 2020 Special Olympics Australia Community Hero. This award recognised the outstanding contribution of community members who have gone above and beyond to provide support and community spirit during the COVID-19 lockdown; only awarded in 2020. Special Olympics Australia deemed that I had shown commitment and loyalty to my community in difficult times.
In 2023, North Queensland Sports Foundation acknowledged me with the North Queensland Sportstar Volunteer of the Year Award.
At the Mackay Regional Council’s 2024 Australia Day Awards, I was honoured to receive the Lori Burgess Community Volunteer Award.
At the 2024 Queensland Sport Awards, I received Queensland Sport Volunteer of the Year.
A matter of months ago, I was recognised as Queensland Volunteer of the Year.
While I don’t volunteer for the accolades, the recognition through these awards illustrates my commitment to serving you.
Kimberly Doyle Supporting Local Business
Supporting local businesses has always been important to me. Through my volunteering, professional and personal life, I have established strong relationships with business organisations. Doing business with local people I know, like, and trust is vital.
I have supported local businesses because this is where I live. My purchasing choices relate to local, not price. My children were able to get their start with part-time jobs in local businesses, and local business supports local athletes.
In 2022, I was awarded the Most Inspirational Team member across the BNI North Queensland business networking group, exemplifying my commitment to local business.
Loyalty to locals is a priority.

You Matter – Everybody Matters
I Believe Everybody Matters
My leadership and coaching roles within Special Olympics over the past 11 years show how committed I am to serve with a passion to be a game changer. Over 30 years working in the finance and disability industry, I have acted with honesty, integrity, and accountability. These traits will serve you and the community well in creating meaningful relationships. that promote effective communication to ensure clarity and understanding in collaborative opportunities.
I have the courage to stand for what is right, just, and fair for the region; the resilience to nagivate challenges and maintain momentum for you and the community. Advocating for others and sometimes the most vulnerable in the community has fostered trust in my ability to stay the course and always act in the best interests of others. I am here to serve.
We need to advocate for more social housing, so that as a community, everybody feels mentally and physically safe and confident, and can access all public areas. Our children have the right to health, education, a safe environment and protection from harm. Everybody has the right to live good, satisfying lives and contribute to their local community and economies. This has prompted my desire to make a real difference with a focus on what needs to change. The bigger picture is everybody matters.
The things that matter to me will resonate with you, and I would welcome your thoughts on issues that are important to you.
Kimberly Doyle for Council
As an independent, pro-active and forward-thinking candidate, I want your vote as a Mackay Regional councillor.
Our great region’s liveability needs work now, and I want to hear your concerns. This and future generations depend on it.
TELL ME your concerns
Fundraising Events
You have worked hard for your money.
So active fundraising through campaign events will NOT be a part of my campaign. I understand the pressures of the cost of living and the difficult choices that everybody makes each day on what takes priority in spending.
Everybody Matters will be spread throughout social media and I ask you to like and share my posts on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok to reduce the need for signs cluttering up our beautiful region.
Who I Am
In 1994, I came to Mackay for 2 years and said I was never having kids.
I fell in love with Mackay and surrounds and saw no reason to leave and have 4 children aged 15 to 28.
Thankful for friendships and relationships created during my life here; I count many of my best friends as those I first met here.

I have a passion to serve through hard work and dedication.
