LEST WE FORGET: COMMEMORATING THE COMPLETION OF THE CLERMONT CEMETERY PLAQUE PROJECT Graves of 51 soldiers that were previously unmarked now have the recognition they deserve as the Clermont RSL Sub-Branch commemorated the placement of plaques.
The project was completed by Clermont RSL SubBranch volunteers David Ward, Gordon and Marion Murray, Dan Eassie, Cyril Bryant and Arthur Ball, in partnership with PFHD RSL branch.
The project to recognise soldiers that were interred in paupers’ graves began in 2017, when members from the Clermont RSL Sub-Branch and Isaac Regional Council began researching the names and record of service for the unmarked graves at the Clermont Cemetery.
Clermont RSL Sub-Branch President David Ward said he was pleased with the outcome of the project.
Council subsequently transferred the historic burial rights of the graves to the Clermont RSL Sub-Branch, with the support of the Clermont community, in 2018. Thanks to financial support from the Pioneer-FitzroyHighlands District (PFHD) RSL, the design, creation and placement of the plaques is complete, listing the name and record of service for each of the graves.
“Finishing the 51 graves and the placement of the 51 plaques means we filled the blank spot of where they were buried and put a name to that space. Thank you to PFHD RSL, Isaac Regional Council and the Clermont community for the support,” Mr Ward said. Mr Ward said everyone had put 110 per-cent into the project to get it done for 8 March. “I would also like to make a special mention to family and friends that have travelled long distances to be here for the ceremony.”
Mayor Anne Baker said the ceremony held last Friday, was an important moment for the region.
Mayor Baker said it was great to see many locals attend the ceremony at the Clermont Cemetery.
“It signifies the completion of the Clermont Cemetery Plaque Placement Project; a project that has brought recognition to returned servicemen and elating them from their pauper graves,” Mayor Baker said.
“By having the community support the project and showing up, the promise we make to remember the fallen is kept.
“My fellow Councillors, Lyn Jones, Greg Austen and I were honoured to be there to commemorate this important milestone in our region’s history.”

The pure people power of the Isaac region shines through the support of project such as this,” she said.
BMX-CITING MILESTONE AT CLERMONT NEW TRACK Clermont’s new BMX Track is progressing well, with the first run though of the track a success. BMX enthusiasts in the Isaac community can start to dust off their bikes and pump up their tyres as the new track has hit a number of milestones. Australian BMX cycling champion Tristyn Kronk was the first rider to do a test run on the newly created track and jumps, giving the thumbs-up after the area underwent a concrete pour on Saturday, February 23. with several jumps, turns and flats the new 400-metre track is guaranteed to entertain riders of all ages and skill levels. Isaac Regional Council Mayor Anne Baker said the first ride milestone was encouraging for locals who enjoy the popular sport.
The $445,000 project is co-funded by Isaac Regional Council in partnership with the Queensland Government under the Works for Queensland (W4Q) program. “The Clermont sporting precinct has previously benefited from Works for Queensland funding to renew our hardcourt facilities, and the BMX Track will revitalise the precinct and incorporate wider community involvement,” Mayor Baker said. “Imagine how wonderful it would be for the track to foster a potential champion, showcasing the pure people power we boast in our great region.” The BMX Track is scheduled for completion in March 2019, producing a quality track able to support state- level BMX events.
“This is a great effort from the collaboration between the Queensland Government, Council, the Clermont community and the contractor, BMX Tracks Australia,” Mayor Baker said. “Community assets like this BMX Track help encourage an active and healthy lifestyle, as well as showcase the great activities that can happen in a regional community.”

INSPIRING WOMEN IN ISAAC RECOGNISED AT EVENTS ACROSS THE REGION Ten inspiring women were recognised at Inspiring Women in Isaac events as part of Queensland Women’s Week and International Women’s Day celebrations. The 2019 Inspiring Women in Isaac awards paid tribute to women of all ages who inspire, encourage and make a positive difference to the lives of those around them. Isaac Regional Council Mayor Anne Baker said these women energise the Isaac region and play an integral role in building our communities.
“We heard stories about women building their business from the ground up; women who have raised thousands for charities; women who have brought arts and culture to our region; and so many more. “It is women like these who create a region that respects women, embraces gender equality, and promotes and protects our rights, interests and wellbeing. “Congratulations to each of our nominees and winners; your hard work and passion is truly inspiring”. Clermont’s Inspiring Woman award was presented to Karina Murphy.

CR JONES COLUMN I just cannot understand where the first two and half months of this year have gone. There has been a fair bit going on but you would think it should be easy enough to find an hour or so for me to put a little something into the Rag (not so). Well, I am finally fully set up out at the truck depot with my office. Poor old Axel has found the shift a bit hard. He was so used to all the car watching, people talking to him and patting him that my company alone just did not cut it for awhile. He is definitely a bit more settled now but still gives me a lot of dirty looks throughout the day. Nothing that lots of treats does not seem to be able to put right. Council has been very busy with meetings, both here and in Moranbah. It’s getting to that time of year where we work on the budget for the region. Bit harder than trying to balance the household budget I can tell you. Have you started to notice that the early mornings are starting to get a little cooler, not saying that the middle of the days aren’t still as hot as, though. Next thing I will be complaining about the cold. Our region is celebrating “Inspiring Women in Isaac”. Most activities will be done and dusted by the time this goes to print. However, if you attended any of the functions I hope you enjoyed them.
Commercial Hotel, with Marie organising the catering. There goes the diet yet again. Congratulations to all the nominees, and all I can say is that I am glad that it was up to our Mayor Anne Baker to choose the lucky recipient. Mother Nature can be a bit of a pain can’t she. Fires down south, floods up north and to the west and we still have drought in our area. You just wish that we could have had some of the flood waters down our way, but that is life. Still managing to get up to Montcler (old Monash) 3 or 4 times a week to see the oldies. This is certainly my down time, I just love helping them do craft work (even though I am pathetic at it). I laugh a lot and listen to the stories they tell. Every day I learn something new and this is not an exaggeration. Let’s hope that when Montcler is officially “opened” that as many people as possible can get up to have a look at this beautiful new building. I have booked my room with a bush view but I am told that I am not quite old enough to apply, so I will just try to keep visiting as much as I can.
I actually went to Glenden to present their awards on Sunday 3 March, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself over there. Great venue, great people , good time had by all.
Hope I have not bored you all to tears but I have so much to write about that I will just have to make sure I get my act together and publish my column every two weeks.

CHANGES TO WHITE CONSTRUCTION CARD
contributed by Lou Power
Changes to the general construction course (QLD White Card) effective 1 February 2019. Amidst industry concerns for the quality of general construction induction courses, Queensland State Government has introduced changes to the white card course delivery requirements as from 1 February. Training for the white card must be undertaken at a one-day training course face to face. The CPCCWHS1001 prepare to work safely in the construction industry unit will no longer be able to be delivered online (unless students reside 100kms from the nearest approved training organisation).
Changes include: • Training organisations in Queensland will only be able to train students located within the state. •
•
•
Where a card is lost, stolen or destroyed and needs to be reissued, the worker must supply a statement of attainment. If you lose, destroy or have your Blue Card stolen it will no longer be replaced with a White card – you’ll need to resit the course. If you hold a White card attained in another state and you need a replacement card you will either have to re-sit the course or seek a replacement from a registered
training organisation in that state. • If you have completed construction induction training with an RTO, it will remain valid while you continue to work in construction. • If you haven’t worked in construction for two consecutive years, you will need to renew your white card by undertaking training again. Site managers, supervisors, surveyors, labourers, tradespeople and everyone who undertakes construction work in Australia must have a white card or they will face a penalty.
PUBLIC NOTICES UPDATE #2 CLERMONT WASTE WATER PIPES CLEANING AND CCTV Clermont residents are advised work on pressure cleaning and Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) inspection of Council’s waste water pipes throughout the township has been suspended. The age of the network and modern cleaning techniques are currently not compatible, and has created an issue in some households. An alternative method to clean the network will be investigated.
This program is part of Council’s commitment to improve waste water removal service quality and delivery. We apologise for any inconvenience this may had cause and thank you for your patience and understanding. If this has happened to your household, please report it to Council’s Customer Service Centre available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on 1300 ISAACS (1300 472 227) so that it can be investigated and resolved.
