The
CLERMONT RAG Community Newsletter Friday July 15, 2016 Pool upgrades: Jordan and Nate Sypher and Bradley Shannon can look forward to a refurbished Clermont Pool as part of Council’s 2016-17 Budget.
2016-17 Budget focus: Vibrant places to connect Isaac Regional Council’s Budget, themed ‘Connecting Our Communities’ will see $3 million invested in parks, landcare and community facilities. Mayor Anne Baker said Council has approved nine new parks and landcare projects to ensure residents have great places to connect with friends and family. “Over the next twelve months Council will contribute to a hard court replacement project that will see some netball and tennis courts replaced across Isaac.” “We have listened to the community and have committed to build a new playground in Glenden’s Town Square, to replace the ageing Lions Park.
“Clermont skate enthusiasts will be pleased to hear Council will build a hard shade cover over the skate park, in line with the covers in Moranbah, Dysart and Middlemount. “Meanwhile, Isaac coast camping sites will get a boost, with stage one works to rehabilitate beach access walkways and fencing.” Mayor Baker said community facilities such as pools are also set for refurbishment. “Dysart, Clermont, St Lawrence, Flaggy Rock and Nebo pools will have works to replace loose or cracked tiles and grout, drainage and pipe works, to name a few. “Council understands how
important Isaac pools are to our communities, especially living in a hot climate,” she said. “I would sincerely like to thank the community for their input into this budget by way of Community Budget Bids. “While we weren’t able to accommodate all bids at this time, there were a number of successful applications, including the Glenden playground and Clermont Skate Park shade cover.” To view the full 2016-17 Budget and the Budget Snapshot visit www.isaac.qld.gov.au/budget.
