Mayor Baker, who attended local Australia Day events in Dysart, Middlemount and Moranbah, said the award winners were worthy recipients. “Every single award winner plays an integral part in the community and creates a positive difference to the lives of those around them,” Mayor Baker said. “We are region rich in resources, but we are also blessed with the greatest resource of all - our people, especially through 2020 – what a tough year with COVID but we’re making it through together. “We heard about people who donate their time to bring sport, arts and culture to our region. We heard about organisations and individuals that have raised thousands for charities. “We heard about resilient and hardworking people that personify the spirit of Isaac through their passion and work and so many more.

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.”
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.”
UNWIND CREATIVITY WITH ISAAC LIBRARIES’ ONLINE ART PROGRAM Young people across the Isaac region are encouraged to get creative and unwind with an online art program Zentangles. Zentangles is a free program on offer during the school holidays, offering a creative way to relax the mind while producing beautiful images using patterns and colours. Isaac Regional Council Mayor Anne Baker said Council is committed to supporting programs that encourage creativity. “The inaugural online Zentangles program is designed to give young people across the Isaac region an opportunity to get creative online with a positive, mindful activity,” she said. “The fun and talented Isaac Libraries team has created a tutorial video for participants to work along with and handy resources are available to download at the new Isaac Libraries Wiki link.” When finished, participants can share their
masterpiece on Council’s Speak Up platform in the online art gallery. Participants can get involved until 30 January 2021 by visiting the Isaac Libraries Wiki link to watch the tutorial and download resources: bit.ly/366Znyw and upload their creation at Council’s Speak Up link: https://speakup.isaac.qld.gov.au/
WATER RESTRICTIONS LIFTED IN CLERMONT Water restrictions in Clermont have been lifted, thanks to significant rainfall into the Theresa Creek Dam catchment. This change came into effect from 3pm on Monday, 21 December 2020. An interim Level 1 water restriction trigger level of 2.1 metres below the spillway of Theresa Creek Dam was adopted on Wednesday, 16 December 2020 pending the finalisation of an investigation into water restriction trigger levels in Clermont. As a result, the spillway level is currently sitting above 2.1 metres, allowing the easing of all restrictions for the Clermont region. Isaac Regional Council Mayor Anne Baker welcomed the news following the announcement on 21 December 2020. “This is positive news for the Clermont community as we head into the festive season,” Mayor Baker said. “Residents are encouraged to continue to exercise water conservation measures to preserve this precious resource.” In 2020, Isaac Regional Council engaged a consultant to conduct a robust investigation to
deliver a sustainable and reliable water supply to Clermont from Theresa Creek Dam. Mayor Baker said experts had confirmed the actual storage volume in Theresa Creek Dam and developed a new storage yield curve, which is the basis for the revised restrictions trigger. “We have needed to be responsible and ensure water supplies were maintained in Clermont,” she said. “However, at the same time, we committed to the community earlier this year to commissioning a robust investigation into water restriction trigger levels. We’ve got some great water saving tips on our website, including information about MiWater, a free water consumption monitoring service.” Ratepayers can sign up to MiWater, a website that provides water consumption information at isaac.qld.gov.au/miwater Visit isaac.qld.gov.au/water-restrictions for more information on water restrictions and water conservation measures. For comprehensive information on water charges visit Council’s website or Council’s Customer Service Centre available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on 1300 ISAACS (1300 472 227).
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.” For more information call Council’s Customer Service Centre available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on 1300 ISAACS (1300 472 227).

PUBLIC NOTICES 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).

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.

PUBLIC NOTICES COUNCIL’S WASTE SERVICES FEES AND CHARGES WASTE LEVY INCREASE Isaac Regional Council wishes to advise the community that Council’s Waste Services Fees and Charges are set to increase from 1 January 2021. This is due to a delayed $5.00 increase to the Queensland State Government’s Waste Levy. Waste Levy increases include: • MSW/C&D/C&I increase from $75 to $80/ tonne • Category 2 Reg Waste increase from $105 to
$110/tonne • Category 1 Reg Waste increase from $155 to $160/tonne The State Government Waste Levy increase was postponed for six months due to COVID-19. Council did not increase Fees and Charges for 2020/21. Please note, all fees and charges will remain inclusive of GST and levy.
DOMESTIC WASTE DISPOSAL GUIDELINES AT COUNCIL’S WASTE FACILITIES Council would like to remind residents and businesses that Council’s usual procedure is to charge for the disposal or recycling of waste items that are transported via private vehicles to Council Waste Management Facilities. The exception to these charges is for domestic waste, which can be recycled or disposed of free of charge for all Isaac region residents. This includes general household waste, recyclables, green waste, scrap metal, car batteries, old computers and televisions. To be eligible, residents must deliver domestic household waste from their own place of residence to any of Council’s Waste Management Facilities in a private vehicle such as a car, utes, and trailers. In line with State Government legislation, Council will record the domestic waste being delivered and the details of the vehicle. No charge is incurred regardless of how many visits the resident makes to the waste facility. Upon arrival at any of Council’s Waste Management Facility sites, please advise the staff
of the waste you wish to dispose of and you’ll be directed to the dedicated disposal areas. Domestic waste delivered in a commercial vehicle will receive a charge, even if it originates from a domestic residence. A commercial vehicle is defined as any vehicle with a GVM > 4.5 tonne. To check your eligibility, contact Council before visiting any of Council’s Waste Management Facilities. Council will charge for disposal of some items, even if they are transported by a domestic resident in a private vehicle. These items include fridges and freezers, air conditioners, tyres, mattresses and construction and demolition waste. A list of Council’s fees and charges can be found at Council’s website. Please note that Council facilities other than Greenhill accept EFTPOS payments only.
