CLERMONT RAG FRIDAY, 08 NOVEMBER 2019 Isaac Regional Councillors Greg Austen and Lyn Jones present the winners of the Grand Champion Exhibit with their award. From left to right: Cathie Fernie, Cr Austen, Cr Jones, Andrew Fernie, Hugh Fernie and Jake Passfield.
CLERMONT SERVES UP BEEF EXPO ON A PLATE Resilience in the livestock industry continues to shine with more than 1000 head of store and prime cattle being judged and auctioned at Clermont’s annual Beef Expo and Trade Display. Clermont Showgrounds and Saleyards staged the premier beef event, delivering an outstanding program for attendees last week. Mayor Anne Baker said Isaac Regional Council was proud to sponsor the Grand Champion Exhibit of the day. “Congratulations to the Fernie family from Riverview Cattle, who claimed Council’s Grand Champion Exhibit for their pen of the Charolais – cross bullocks, and of course to all our winners across the region,” Mayor Baker said. “A huge congratulations goes out to the organisers, graziers and exhibitors for yet another stellar event. “Despite drought conditions, our beef line-up continues to impress and highlights just how much our Isaac communities feed and energise the world.”

Division 6 Councillor Lyn Jones said world leading personal finance expert Noel Whittaker AM engaged guests with an informative and heartfelt talk. “This year’s theme - Drought Proof your Dollars - was very close to our heart, and we were lucky enough to have Noel speak at length and provide valuable support to our farmers through a mini workshop,” she said. “With a fundraising breakfast for SMARD, a rare neuromuscular degenerative disease, 14 cattle classes to judge, and trade displays throughout the day, Hoch & Wilkinson and Clermont Agencies CRT hosted another jam-packed and entertaining expo.” Division 1 Councillor Greg Austen said agriculture is one of the key industries for the Isaac region. “The gross value of Isaac agriculture commodities produced is $549.7 million. The agricultural industry directly employs 5.4 per cent of the Isaac region’s workforce which supports Isaac’s $480 million beef industry.”
CR JONE’S COLUMN Seems awhile since I last put my thoughts on paper. A lot has been going on with our community and after having been informed by someone that my column had very little substance and was frankly a waste of time, I thought it was time to reflect on what my intention of doing a column actually was. When I was first elected as your representative I made it clear that I would not be on Facebook and if people had a true and genuine concern then I would make myself available either in person, by phone or email to address their concerns. This method I feel has been working fairly well with a lot of concerns having been addressed. The idea of my column was to show a lighter side of Council and myself with a fairly chatty approach to upcoming events or topical issues going on at the time. Axel always plays a part in my stories as he is always with me and I know a lot of you are genuinely interested in what he is up to. Blair Athol has played a very important role in our districts history and Mickey Davis was the last person to be ever buried at the Blair Athol Cemetery. Mickey had requested this to be done and at 106 years of age her request was respected. Bats, bats and more bats. I hope everyone does get the opportunity to read the bat updates when they are put out. If not, we (the Council) are very aware of the increase in numbers down at the lagoon. No rain in the surrounding district has contributed to the cause of the increase. We have a perfect environment here for them, water, trees and green grass. The sites where they return to breed and rear their young caused them to be defined as a Protected Roosting Site. This means that we are limited to what we can do to try and get rid of them out of our park etc. When they leave we are still only able to trim, clear, tidy up 10% of the area as if we remove too much vegetation, when they come back next year they will move into people’s backyards. This will probably only allow us to tidy up and trim the dead bits off the trees. The little-red flying fox and the black flying fox are both protected under State legislation. The only time we are able to trim the trees (for example- branches over the boardwalk) is when they become a safety issue. This of course is monitored by our Council.
The 2019 Beef Expo was once again held at the Showgrounds last Wednesday. Congratulations to all those involved in making this event such a success. It is hard to imagine that another year is almost finished. We are still of course looking for rain and we can only hope that it does get to us before too much longer. So much depends on it, the graziers, the farmers and every business in the area. It’s a sad fact that when its dry, every business suffers. This is a good reason for everyone to try and shop as locally as you possibly can because everyone is doing it tough. Another talking point of late has been the removal of the diving blocks at our swimming pool. After meetings with the stakeholders we hope to have a suitable solution in sight. This is probably a good time to remind ourselves that Clermont is one of 18 communities in the Isaac region. Each community has an expectation of Council to provide facilities such as our halls, libraries, pools in eight of these communities and other various assets that Council is responsible for. Every request has to be considered knowing that there are so many requirements throughout the region. Clermont being one of the oldest, means that a lot of our structures are getting old and tired. Bit like me. Marg and I attended the Blue Light Disco on Friday night. The theme was Scary Halloween with most of the kids dressing up. I had the job of picking the best dressed. It was mighty hard as they had all put (or their parents) so much effort into it. Poor old Axel is sitting at my feet and doing his best to get my attention so that I will take him home. His attention span is a bit limited and he does like to be at home where he can sit on his lounge. I know this column has been a bit long winded, but it had to be for me to say all I wanted to say.
That’s it until next time. .....Lyn

SENIOR CITIZENS CHRISTMAS LUNCHEON Contributed by Danny McKay It is with great pleasure that we announce the Clermont Gold and Coal Festival Committee will again host this year’s Senior Citizens Christmas Luncheon.

This will entail the sponsor contributing $25.00 per plate to fund the meal and contribute to the hall hire and drinks. Maryann and Steve Nicholson will be preparing the meal as they have each year. All sponsors will have a plaque attached to the place setting with information about the sponsor and best wishes for the festive season. The proposed date for the event is Sunday, 8 December at 11am at the Anglican Hall.
We would encourage sponsors to direct deposit their moneys to the Committees bank account: ANZ - Account No 460620104 - BSB: 014-550 or cheque or moneys to PO BOX 570 Clermont. After contributing could you please email your details with a return postal address to: dpmckay2010@bigpond.com so we can send a receipt for tax purposes and document any details you would like on the plaque. I am sure with all your generous contributions this will again be a great event for our Senior Citizens.

PUBLIC NOTICES UPDATE #2, FLYING FOX COLONY, CLERMONT Isaac Regional Council advises that the Anzac Memorial Walk, playground and western public access gate to Centenary Park will be partially closed from:
29 October, until further notice Council understands the impact on park users and there has been efforts made to consider alternative temporary accesses to enable people to do laps via an alternative route. Additionally, temporary fencing will be constructed this week to continue to isolate a roost of approximately 120,000 little red flying foxes that have progressively grown since their arrival early September. Due to dry conditions, flying foxes are seeking refuge in our towns due to habitat loss from the 2018 bush fires and the state currently being in widespread drought. Flying foxes will be heavily feeding in towns due to the wider landscape being dry and the majority of plant species are waiting for rain until they flower. The roost is away from residential backyards, in the trees on the south bank of Hoods Lagoon (corner of Capella and Lime streets). This site is considered a protected roost, under Queensland Government legislation, as flying foxes have used this site for breeding and rearing young, this has impacted on the potential vegetation management.
Council is only being able to remove no more than 10 per cent of the vegetation in the roost per year. If Council was to trim the trees in the park, this may cause flying foxes to venture into residential backyards to roost. For the first time, community feedback which helped inform a Statement of Management Intent (SOMI) for managing flying foxes is now in action. The SOMI outlines the principle of ownership of land and where the responsibilities are on state, privately owned and Council land while acknowledging that all management actions undertaken at flying fox roosts would comply with prescribed methods. This is outlined in the Code of Practice – Ecologically Sustainable Management of Flying-fox Roosts and within the legislative frame work of the Nature Conservation Act 1992. Residents are reminded that it is against the law to harm or disturb a flying fox roost, and unplanned and unauthorised actions on flying fox roosts can impact on you, your neighbours and your community. This includes self-dispersing, destroying or modifying a tree once a roost is established. Disturbing flying foxes that are resting during the day stresses the flying foxes and can fragment the roost, causing more issues in the community. It increases their susceptibility to disease and reduces their ability to migrate on from townships. Council recommends that residents undertake proactive vegetation management at properties to deter flying foxes from camping in their backyards, before it happens. The best way to do this is to trim or remove potential camp trees, commonly mature mango, fig, or poinciana, little red flying foxes can also camp in eucalypts, palm and other trees.

ISAAC IN THE SUNNY LANE FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY CROWN Solar, wind, coal and gas, the Isaac region’s evolution is continuing to energise the world after the opening of a major project between Clermont and Moranbah last week. As the resource sector experiences an upswing in projects, Isaac Regional Council Mayor Anne Baker commended Adani Renewables for their work in the opening of the Rugby Run solar farm. Mayor Baker said the Isaac is helping to energise the world as a region which feeds, powers and builds communities. “Our burgeoning renewables sector is an increasingly important part of that exciting vision,” Mayor Baker said. “We are a region rich in resources across our 58,000 square kilometre footprint, in fact, we are well known as the resources capital of Queensland. “But as the milestone event in Adani Renewables’ 65-megawatt project shows, that’s just one part of the Isaac story.
Mayor Baker said Council supported the continued investment in renewables in the region. “We are also set to be home to one of Australia’s largest wind farms in this region at Clarke Creek, with the 195-turbine wind farm approved and is expected to produce 800 megawatts from wind and 400 megawatts from solar,” Mayor Baker said. “As a Council, we are committed to working with industry and government to support employment generating development which will enhance the sustainability and resilience of our regional communities. “Our region hosts one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country and has the highest concentration of top income earners in Queensland. “Once again, congratulations to Adani Renewables for reaching this important milestone of the Rugby Run solar farm.”
“Our region is playing an important role in the development of a balanced and realistic energy mix, through the evolution from resources to renewables.” “There are a further eight solar farms that have been approved in Clarke Creek, Isaac Coast, Clermont, Coppabella, Dysart, Middlemount and Moranbah. “They range in generating capacity from 50 to 400 megawatts, providing energy from the sun in ideal conditions across our wide plains.”
