CELEBRATE AND NOMINATE THE INSPIRING WOMEN IN YOUR LIFE Nominations are now open for the 2021 Inspiring Women in Isaac Awards, where men and woman alike can come together to celebrate the powerhouse females in our lives. Isaac Regional Council Mayor Anne Baker said the awards were a chance to nominate women of all ages and from all walks of life who help make the region a better place to live, work and play. “We see inspiring women every day, and over the last 12 difficult months we’ve seen an outpouring from strong women determined to help their community recover from the ongoing global pandemic. “This is our chance to celebrate the incredible resilience of women in Isaac and the valuable contributions they make to our communities,” she said. “We are calling on residents to shine a spotlight on the inspirational stories and community contributions of some of the Isaac’s finest women and help us celebrate the pure people power which drives our region.” Mayor Baker said there were two award categories

THIRTEEN TAKE TRUE BLUE PLEDGE DURING AUSTRALIA DAY CEREMONY Thirteen new citizens, including three in Clermont, have been warmly welcomed to the Isaac region during a special Australia Day ceremony at Moranbah Community Centre. Gathering with friends and family to share this exceptional milestone, the new Australians proudly took the pledge on Tuesday, 26 January 2021. The citizens who took the oath hailed from the Philippines, United Kingdom, India, Czech Republic and Fiji. Isaac Regional Council Mayor Anne Baker said citizenship ceremonies provided a wonderful opportunity to celebrate and honour the rich diversity of cultures that exists within the Isaac region and the nation. “Being part of the ceremony to welcome our new citizens is a real privilege and we are thrilled to help them embark on this exciting new journey in their lives,” Mayor Baker said. “They have all undertaken a journey much greater than most of us could imagine. “The process can take some people several years to bring to fruition. “I congratulate them for their commitment, persistence and desire to be officially recognised as an Australian.” The new citizens are Daisy Jane Sacare Caotivo (Philippines), Emma Jayne Goodman (United Kingdom), Harmanvir Kaur from (India), Mudrabahen Balvantbhai Patel (India), Alma Tuyan Siatrez (Philippines) and Petra Vokoun (Czech Republic), along with a family of seven from Fiji who celebrated becoming new citizens together. They are Rodney Dan, Harieta Loloma Bernadette Suliana, Marseu Joseph Sosefo Suliana, Mikayla Lanette Margaret Mary Suliana, Paul Atunaisa Vukialau Suliana, Rodney Atumurirava John Kaurasi Suliana and Bernadette Lowata Manu Kaufuti. Isaac Regional Council, under direction of the Department of Home Affairs, conducts Australian Citizenship Ceremonies throughout the year for registered applicants. Australian citizenship represents commitment to Australia and its people, the values we share

and our common future. Since the first Australian citizenship ceremony was hosted in 1949, more than four and a half million people have chosen to become Australian citizens. Any persons interested in becoming an Australian Citizen should contact the Department of Home Affairs on 131 881 during office hours from 8.30am to 4.30pm Monday to Friday. For more details, visit www.isaac.qld.gov.au/citizenship-ceremonies or call 1300 ISAACS (1300 472 227).

TRAINEES LEARNING THE ROPES AT ISAAC REGIONAL COUNCIL Nine people from across the region have begun traineeships or apprenticeships with Isaac Regional Council. They have completed a two-day introduction to Council structure, responsibilities and procedures, and will now begin at least a year’s supervised training. Mayor Anne Baker said Council saw the annual intake of trainees and apprentices as an important responsibility. “At the end of their training, some of these people will join Council and some will move to other positions in government or private enterprise,” Mayor Baker said. “This program helps bring bright people into Council and potentially begin them on a lifelong career in local government. “Council is also a major employer and we see it as a social responsibility to help train administrative staff and tradespeople in the region.” Isaac Regional Council CEO Gary Stevenson, PSM, said this year’s intake comprised seven administrative trainees and two apprentices, one in carpentry and one in plumbing. “The traineeships generally run for approximately 12 months and obviously apprenticeships longer,” Mr Stevenson said.

Pictured: Beginning traineeships or apprenticeships in 2021 with Isaac Regional Council are (L-R): Brandon Goode, Kyle Cherry, Jordan Pickering (Clermont), Amber Smith (Clermont), Samantha Bailey, Renae Womal, Lavinnia Jones, Dylan Little and Tessa Smith (Clermont).

“We hope they all find this an enriching experience that prepares them for a satisfying career ahead. “The role of the Isaac Regional Council is to provide facilities throughout the region in an effective and efficient manner, and to encourage strategic and sustainable development of the area for the benefit of all citizens. “That is a role we take very seriously and carry out very conscientiously. Working in Council, these people will be helping to provide the amenities and services that people need in their local communities every day. “They will be improving people’s lives. That is a very satisfying and very rewarding role.”

ISAAC COUNCIL TO COMMENCE RECRUITMENT PROCESS FOR NEW CEO Isaac Regional Council will this month commence the process to recruit a new Chief Executive Officer. Isaac Regional Mayor Anne Baker said this was part of an orderly transition plan initiated after current CEO Gary Stevenson, PSM, advised Council early last year he planned to step down by mid-2021. “Gary joined Isaac Regional Council as CEO in 2016 and has guided the organisation through significant challenges and milestones during his time with us, including of course the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic across our communities,” Mayor Baker said. “Council is very reluctant to see him go but

understands Gary has made the decision to step away and spend more time with his family. “Gary has brought a high level of professionalism to the role and his trusted advice has been instrumental in shaping the future direction of our Council and our Region.” Mayor Baker said Council would commence a nationwide recruitment process later this month. “This may not necessarily be a quick or easy process but we will look to have a new CEO in place by mid-year.” Mayor Baker said. “I envisage there will be a handover transition period once the new CEO is appointed before we finally farewell Gary.”

ISAAC ADOPTS SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY POLICY Isaac Regional Council has adopted a new social sustainability policy. “This is a very important policy for our communities,” Isaac Regional Council Mayor Anne Baker said. “Council aims to achieve the greatest possible social benefit from development in the Isaac Region and this new policy will help us achieve that goal. “It represents a contemporary position on social sustainability in Isaac Regional Council’s dealings on major projects approvals processes, works and services, in forward planning for infrastructure, and in Council’s own activities and services. “Council has reviewed its approach to ensuring the greatest possible benefits – sustainable social benefits – for Isaac communities and developed this new policy. “It reflects ‘world’s best practice’ principles and will

be applied in Council’s dealings with, for example, resource companies and the State and Federal Governments. “We want to ensure the economic success for the region also leads to sustainable social outcomes. “Council is not satisfied with a ‘business as usual’ approach to social development. We will apply the new policy to decision-making in the next generation of major project approvals and seek to genuinely fulfil policy and regulatory goals of social sustainability. “Council has adopted a new over-arching policy on social sustainability and this will now be further developed for use in future discussions with industry and government. “Adoption of this policy is an important step in the process and Isaac communities will see a lot more about this policy as it is further developed and applied throughout the year.”

STRATEGIC PILOT PLAN ADOPTED TO COMBAT ILLEGAL DUMPING Isaac Regional Council has adopted a 12-month pilot plan to examine motivations for illegal dumping in the region. Mayor Anne Baker said the plan is to deal with the root causes rather than the results of illegal dumping. “Illegal dumping includes bags of household rubbish and garden waste as well as items such as whitegoods, furniture and abandoned cars,” she said. “It includes commercial or larger scale deposits of construction and demolition materials, car tyres and hazardous waste. So, when you see it, stop it by calling 1300 ISAACS. Let’s keep Isaac tidy! “Our aim is to minimise the incidence of illegal

dumping in the region, drive positive long-term change in community attitudes and behaviours to prevent illegal dumping, and reduce the social, environmental, health and financial impact of illegal dumping. “We need to reduce perceived financial benefits in illegal dumping, increase the risks of getting caught, make access to illegal dumping sites more difficult, and reduce people’s reasons for dumping illegally. “Our strategy is to make illegal dumping less attractive by using those illegal dumping intervention mechanisms. It’s time to stop the excuses and we need everyone to spread the word.”

PUBLIC NOTICES HAVE YOUR SAY ON ILLEGAL DUMPING There has been an increase of illegal dumping in the region and Isaac Regional Council needs everyone’s assistance to prevent and reduce this anti-social behaviour. These actions impact on our local communities, as well as our open spaces. On a larger scale, domestic and commercial waste illegally dumped by the trailer and truck load, leaves the clean-up and costs to others. Although most residents do the right thing and dispose of waste responsibly, a small minority of

the community dump their waste illegally.

CLERMONT WATER QUALITY, CAPRICORN ST RESERVOIR REFILL - 22 AND 23 JANUARY 2021 Isaac Regional Council acknowledges the community’s concerns in relation to water discolouration following the refilling of the Capricorn Street Reservoir on Friday, 22 January 2021 and Saturday, 23 January 2021. Council appreciates that the Clermont community are understandably concerned about water discolouration in the town water supply. We are currently undertaking mains flushing to address this issue. What to do if you experience discoloured water The discoloured water, although undesirable, is safe to drink. Regular internal testing is undertaken at the WTP and across the town network in accordance with our Drinking Water Quality Management Plan. In the instance of experiencing discoloured water, Council recommends flushing tap water for up to

five minutes or until the water becomes clear. It is recommended to discard the water on your lawn or garden. How to report a water issue Council has a 24-hour response capability and encourages the community to report any water quality issues immediately to 1300 ISAACS (1300 472 227). The community is entitled to quality drinking water supply and Council shares this expectation, which is why we are prioritising this issue and working to resolve these water colour concerns. Council apologises for any inconvenience and thanks residents for their patience. If you require further information please contact Council’s Customer Service Centre available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on 1300 ISAACS (1300 472 227).

FOOTPATH UPGRADE WORKS, CLERMONT Isaac Regional Council is advising community members in Dysart and Clermont of upgrades to footpaths in selected locations. Works for the footpaths are scheduled to occur from: 6am to 6pm weekdays and 6am to 2pm Saturdays 8 January 2021 to 30 April 2021 Weather permitting The paths to be upgraded are outlined below: • Parts of Hoods Lagoon footpath • Francis Street extension of footpath from Beatty Street intersection to Clermont Hospital • Monash Street from Tropic Street to Francis Street intersection

• Tropic Street from Railway line crossing through Playfair Street to Francis street intersection • Installation of disability/pram ramps on existing footpaths Pedestrians and motorists are advised to maintain caution near work areas, abide by signage in place at the site and follow the clearly marked and barricaded safe detours. The work is fully funded under the Federal Government’s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Grant Program. Council is delivering the footpath upgrades as part of Council’s commitment to promote community safety, health and wellbeing.


PUBLIC NOTICES WATER MAIN INSTALLATION PROJECT, CLERMONT Clermont residents are advised Isaac Regional Council will undertake the construction of a new water pipeline along East Street and Lime Street as part of Council’s commitment to improve water service quality and delivery. What are we doing? The existing water mains have incurred a series of breaks and has reached its end of life. Council has engaged contractors Newlands Group to undertake the project which will construct new water mains to service the area. To improve the robustness of the water network the new mains will be upsized creating a ring main to improve water security. Safety fencing will be erected for pedestrians and vehicles for the excavation and trenching, pipeline installation and resurfacing of pavement. When it is happening? To minimise disruption to households these works will be undertaken: Mid-January 2021 to May 2021 Between 6.30am and 6pm Monday to Saturday Sunday 8am to 4pm What to expect Footpaths and verge areas will be closed at alternate times during construction. Pedestrians should exercise caution around the work zone. Single lane closures, footpath and shoulder closures and speed restrictions will continue to be used as required to ensure the safety of motorists, pedestrians, and the workers. Residents can expect some noise and dust during certain activities. Newlands Group will monitor

noise and dust on site and will limit disruptions where possible. Access to individual properties may be restricted for short periods of time. Newlands Group will make contact prior to work occurring. Planned water outages will occur for only a short period of time during the cutover to the new water main. Newlands Group will make contact prior to this occurring as residents and business may experience instances of dirty water following this procedure. If this occurs Council recommends flushing tap water for up to five minutes or until the water becomes clear. Location of works

Report a problem We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience and understanding as this important work is carried out to improve water service quality and delivery. If you have any inquiries or concerns, Newlands Group can be contacted on (07) 4620 0000 or 0412 001 954. Alternatively, call Council’s Customer Service Centre on 1300 ISAACS (1300 472 227).
