INNOVATIVE ENTREPRENEUR VISITS CLERMONT TO SHARE THE RECIPE FOR RUNNING A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS Business leader and Eagle Boys founder Tom Potter prefers anchovies over pineapple on his pizza.

As one of Australia’s most innovative entrepreneurs, Mr Potter will share a few slices of business advice at The Networking Evening with Tom Potter in Moranbah and Clermont as part of Small Business Month in the Isaac region.

Mr Potter will be one of range of presenters during Small Business Month, kicking off this week in the Isaac region supported by Greater Whitsunday Alliance (GW3), Isaac Regional Council and the Local Buying Foundation.

GW3 chief executive officer Ms Kylie Porter said small businesses are the mainstays of regions like Isaac and there were a large number of events planned to ensure all small businesses had a chance to connect.

“For example, we are providing the Isaac small businesses with two opportunities to hear from world-class entrepreneur Tom Potter with two separate events planned for Moranbah and Clermont on the 13th and 14th of May.

“The Networking Evening with Tom Potter and other workshops are great resources to encourage Isaac small businesses to tap into their entrepreneurial spirit and bounce back from a turbulent year,” Ms Porter said.

Isaac Regional Council Ms Mayor Anne Baker said COVID-19 has taught businesses and industry to be more resilient than ever.

“We’re a diverse and fiercely independent region that continues to rise to the social and economic challenges thanks to COVID-19,” Mayor Baker said.

“Through these incredibly tough times, our mum-and-dad enterprises and their hard work in the Isaac region has been vital in maintaining both the Queensland and Australian economies.

“Some of our own small businesses have faced hardship and we will continue to support our communities as and when needed especially through these empowering workshops and Continued next page...

SMILING MINDS WAS THE KEY TO DRY LANDS TO HIGH HOPES EVENT A series of Dry Lands to High Hopes events continue to run across the Isaac region with a small rural school near Clermont benefiting from a smiling mind workshop on Wednesday, 5 May 2021.

Isaac Regional Council, Kilcummin State Primary School and its Parents and Citizens’ (P&C) association was proud to host Lyndi Smith, renowned mindfulness trainer.

The event was aimed at creating a social opportunity for people to talk, share and participate in a range of activities relating to health and wellbeing.

Isaac Regional Council Mayor Anne Baker said the events like the Kilcummin Mindfulness Morning, attended by Division 1 Councillor Greg Austen, contributed to social connectedness and wellbeing as well as increasing access to local support services.

“We know that the COVID-19 pandemic has meant that our drought-affected Isaac communities are facing social and economic

challenges on two fronts,” she said.

“This ongoing drought, and the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, is having a flow-on effect, spreading from farms to businesses and households and the Queensland Government grant to help stage these events will help boost our rural and regional communities.”

This event is supported by the Queensland Government’s Community Drought Support Program which Pictured: Cr Greg Austen and Isaac Regional mindfulness trainer Lyndi Smith at the Council are Kilcummin Mindfulness Morning. presenting via the Dry Lands to High Hopes event series.

ONE OF ISAAC’S OWN APPOINTED AS NEW COUNCIL DIRECTOR A visionary local government professional with a focus on wholistic community sustainability, capacity building and pure people power has been appointed as Isaac Regional Council’s new director.

Dan Wagner was among a competitive national field of 17 internal and external applicants for this important community facing leadership role of Director Planning, Environment and Community Services (PECS).

Mr Wagner replaces Jeff Stewart-Harris who is now serving Council as its new CEO from last week following Gary Stevenson PSM’s departure into phased retirement.

Mr Wagner has an extensive working history with the Isaac region, most recently as Council’s Manager of Liveability and Sustainability. He has a diverse background in strategic and regional planning in both Queensland and New South Wales, community engagement, environmental planning and assessment, economic development, project facilitation and regulatory functions.

CEO Jeff Stewart-Harris said Mr Wagner has a depth of experience across much of the PECS directorate to lead and implement the Isaac vision within his portfolio.

“That vision includes continuation of the development work undertaken since 2019 to focus on building communities through engagement, trust innovation and value across all departments in the directorate,” Mr Stewart-Harris said.

“Dan joined Council in mid-2019 and has delivered a great performance in that role – including being part of the award-winning team to help deliver the new Isaac Regional Planning Scheme, and emerging work in development of Council’s social sustainability and environmental policy frameworks.

“During the three-stage selection and interview process, Dan presented an enthusiastic, clear, creative, and compelling vision for the future of the PECS Directorate.

The strong emphasis on inclusion, empowerment and growing capacity of Pictured: Dan Wagner people and teams made named new Director Planning, for compelling reasons Environment and Community Services (PECS) at Isaac for Dan’s appointment.” Regional Council.

NEW CLERMONT RESERVOIR TO IMPROVE WATER QUALITY & SECURITY A new $2-million, five-megalitre reservoir designed to further improve the quality of drinking water in Clermont has been officially opened.

Isaac Regional Council Mayor Anne Baker said the reservoir is a key component in the broader plan to significantly improve Clermont’s water supply.

“In relatively dry inland areas like much of the Isaac, with limited natural water assets, meeting the water needs of our towns – and Clermont in particular – has traditionally been a challenge,” Mayor Baker said.

“However, keeping Isaac residents’ taps flowing with top-quality water remains a high priority and we are spending $5.9 million in the current 2020-21 Council budget doing just that. More than 80 per cent of our regional water budget this year – approximately $4.9 million – is going to projects that benefit Clermont. This spending is part of Clermont’s Water Quality Response Plan, an ongoing program to improve the quality and security of the town’s drinking water.”

Water and Waste Standing Committee Chair Councillor Simon West said design and

construction of the new five-megalitre reservoir in Clermont – a partnership between Isaac Regional Council and Dowdens Pumping & Water Treatment – cost $2 million. Also, $1.39 million is being spent on replacement of water mains in Lime Street and East Street, and $1 million on de-silting the raw water offtake structure at Theresa Creek Dam. “Along with the existing three megalitre reservoir on the same site, and refurbishment of the 1.4-megalitre Capricorn Street reservoir, this new reservoir will take total secure water in the Clermont network to almost 10 megalitres,” Cr West said.

“This means we will have a minimum of three days’ supply of clean, clear drinking water stored at any one time, ready to provide to residents in Clermont and the surrounding area should there be an event like discoloured water coming from Theresa Creek Dam after heavy rain. In that case, water can be supplied from these reservoirs while the raw water from Theresa Creek Dam is given extra treatment to clear it up.”

The new reservoir is already online, supplying water to Clermont residents. It had been built in nine months, coming in on-time and under-budget.

The works will be completed in stages and include the pre-cleaning and CCTV investigation of the underground pipelines, followed by structural relining of portions of the sewer gravity network using PVC relining materials.

The works will occur within the urban areas, including within residential and commercial properties and will require access to private properties to access the existing pipe and manhole network. Affected property occupants will be given

CLERMONT HISTORICAL CENTRE

FROM THE PAST Supreme Court Trial of Rioting Shearers Following the riot of 300 shearers in Clermont on March 8, 1891, five shearers whom the police said were ‘prominent rioters’ were arrested and charged with rioting. The men, Harry Matthews, Richard Raynor, William McCarthy, Christopher Scheul and Timothy Reardon were held in custody after their arrests and appeared in the Clermont Police Court on March 11, 1891 for a committal hearing.

The prisoners were then committed to stand trial in the Rockhampton Supreme Court on April 22, 1891. On March 13, 1891, a special train left Clermont at midnight to secretly take the prisoners to Rockhampton. This was done to avoid any demonstrations at Clermont or Rockhampton. Hundreds of union-aligned shearers were camped around Clermont, on strike until pastoralists agreed to pay shearers better wages and conditions for all shearers. Meanwhile, non-union shearers began arriving in the Capella district to shear on non-union aligned stations. Hundreds of unionist shearers converged on Capella, taking possession of hotels and demanding free drinks. A train carrying nonunion shearers was delayed due to vandalism of the train tracks.

Wednesday, April 22 – The trial of seven unionist shearers charged with riot and assault, and riot and tumult on March 3, began in the Rockhampton Supreme Court. Richard Raynor, William McCarthy, Henry Matthews, Timothy Riordon, Christopher Schull, James Murray and Henry Bowsely appeared before Mr Justice Harding on these charges.

Abor Creek Bridge Exhibit at the Clermont Historical Centre.

The prisoners all pleaded not guilty. Messrs Power and Dickson, instructed by Mr Gill and Mr Rees Jones appeared for the prosecution, and Mr E Lilley, instructed

by Mr Lyons and the Hon. A H Thynne, for the defence.

A jury was impanelled for the trial. During the trial, Judge Harding had allowed the defendants to remain seated but in the middle of the afternoon, he noticed one of the defendants, Henry Matthews, leaning back half asleep. Judge Harding ordered all defendants to stand and remain standing throughout the trial. The trial was adjourned late afternoon until the following morning and the jurors allowed to return to their homes. As the prisoners left the court to be transported back to jail, they were met by a large crowd of cheering spectators.

The trial continued until Saturday, April 25 and after three hours’ deliberation, the jury returned a not guilty verdict against the seven defendants. The men were acquitted of all charges and discharged, except for James Murray and Henry Bowsley, who were detained on other charges.

Wednesday, April 1 – An attempt was made to sabotage the railway bridge over Abor Creek. It was discovered that a headstock and pile had been cut by a handsaw.

Fortunately, the attempted sabotage was discovered before a train had passed over the bridge.

ON THIS DAY….80 YEARS AGO Wednesday, May 14, 1941 Ballot for Cairo Fifty-five applications were received for the Cairo surrendered holding, which was open for pastoral lease as a preferential pastoral holding. The ballot for Cairo was held at the Lands Office and the successful applicant was Stan Francis, an authorised surveyor, of Chelmer, Brisbane. The Cairo holding was 126 square miles, situated 30 miles north-west of Clermont on the Clermont-Charters Towers Road (now known as the Gregory Developmental Road). The lease was for 30 years at an annual rental of £1 10s. per square mile for the first period of 10 years.
