CLERMONT RAG FRIDAY MAY 04, 2018

Scott Hensley, representing the proud history of the light horsemen, leads the Anzac Day Parade.

ANZACS HONOURED ACROSS ISAAC A strong sense of solidarity and sentiment honoured the memory of our Anzacs with over 16 services held across Isaac.

“In pausing to commemorate those who have served and sacrificed, our thoughts also go out to those who are still serving on the frontlines.

Isaac Regional Council Mayor Anne Baker offered solemn recognition toward those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.

“To our army, air force and navy personnel presently on active service overseas, those supporting them and the families who are waiting for their loved ones to return.”

“The names of fallen soldiers are not only etched in bronze and stone on memorials across Isaac, but also in the collective consciousness of a grateful nation,” Mayor Baker said. “Anzac Day remains a defining moment in the shared history of Australia and New Zealand. “That legacy lives on, with the qualities of mateship, courage and sacrifice embodied by those first Anzacs very much defining our national character and what it is to be Australian.

The services were held in partnership with local RSL groups and community organisations. This year marked the centenary of the Battle of Villers-Bretonneux. On April 24, 1918, Australian troops staged a daring attack under the cover of darkness to recapture the town from German forces. Following a night of house-to-house fighting, Australian forces liberated the village by dawn on Anzac Day, 1918.

FREE GREEN MULCH TRIAL CLERMONT WASTE MANAGEMENT FACILITY Isaac Regional Council advises that residents will be able to access free green waste mulch for their gardens from the Clermont Waste Management Facility on:

The last Sunday of each month starting from Sunday April 29 between 9am to 1pm Residents will be entitled to two cubic metres of free mulch until 30 June 2018 or until the stockpiles are exhausted. The trial will assist in reducing the amount of waste going to landfill through the recycling of green waste as quality mulch. The use of mulch as a conservation tool to reduce evaporation and to hamper underlying weed growth is widely accepted. For safety purposes, the mulch will need to be loaded by a Council-operated loader and not manually by hand, so customers will require a suitable utility or trailer for collection. Any children or animals accompanying a customer collecting mulch must remain within the vehicle at all times. It is also a requirement that the load be fully secured and covered by a tarpaulin or similar before departing the site. Customers will have to show they have a suitable cover before loading commences. Customers wishing to collect free mulch will be required to accept the full terms and conditions of the green mulch trial at the Waste Management Facility Gatehouse prior to the commencement of the loading process. 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 47 22 27). Gary Stevenson PSM Chief Executive Officer

WHAT’S ON IN CLERMONT PURE PEOPLE POWER

BETTER ROADS FOR ISAAC Severe weather events that extensively damaged 85 per cent of Isaac’s road network will undergo a $40 million works program. A total of 706km across 4457 sites will undergo a major restoration starting from April 2018 through the jointly funded CommonwealthState Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements (NDRRA).

NEIGHBOURHOOD NEWS

The works will include restoration of unsealed roads, reconstruction of sealed roads and reconstruction of drainage structures.

Council appreciates community concern in relation to recent property valuations. Land valuations are used as a starting point for calculating general rates, but councils are also required to raise an appropriate amount of revenue to maintain assets and provide services to their local government area through the rating system.

While valuations have decreased, the cost of providing and maintaining essential infrastructure and services to the residents of the Isaac region continues to increase.

HAVE YOU GOT?? Have you got an author or book in mind that you want but don’t know if it’s available at the Clermont Library? Ask the friendly staff about it and they will assist you with your query. If the book is not held in the Clermont Library collection but available at another Isaac Library, staff can arrange for a hold to be put on the book and sent to the Clermont Library. If it is an adult fiction or adult non-fiction book not held in the Isaac Libraries collection, staff may be able to arrange an Interlibrary Loan from a library outside the Isaac region.

This class is suitable for all fitness levels.

An exercise ‘circuit’ is one completion of all prescribed exercises in the program. It is highly enjoyable and recommended to all levels of fitness.
