$72.57 MILLION IN CAPITAL WORKS TO HELP BUILD A STRONGER ISAAC A total of $72.57 million will power 184 projects from the outback to the coast in a bid to build a stronger Isaac after Council handed down its annual Budget. Isaac Regional Council is set to deliver $39.85 million for roads and drainage, $10.07 million for water infrastructure, $12.92 million for wastewater infrastructure and $1.035 million for waste management in 2018-19. A further $2.74 million for plant, fleet and workshops, $3.95 million for community facilities, $1.08 million for service and support and $925,000 for parks and recreation is also part of energising Isaac. Mayor Anne Baker said, as a team, Council would continue to strongly advocate for a better deal for ratepayers, businesses and residents “We aim to deliver $72.57 million in key infrastructure and capital works projects over the next 12 months,” Mayor Baker said. “Delivering critical infrastructure continues to be our top priority.

“Council’s tenacity and diversity will continue to drive multi-million dollar projects to future proof Isaac. “And by continuing projects in partnership with various government stakeholders, we will advocate for funding to ensure our ratepayers’ are not subsidising the total bill. “Road networks across Isaac will continue to undergo a $40 million works program with joint funding from the Commonwealth and State Governments under the Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements. “A total of 706km across 4457 sites will undergo a major restoration which started in April and will finish this February 2019, weather permitting.” Visit www.isaac.qld.gov.au/budget, phone 1300 ISAACS (1300 472 227) or visit an Isaac Regional Council office for details.
LIVEABILITY INVESTMENT BOOSTED BY PURE PEOPLE POWER Pure people power remains one of the most energising commodities in Isaac. In 2018-19, a total of $3.95 million will be invested into community facilities and $925,000 in parks and land care. This comes as Mayor Anne Baker delivered Council’s $72.57 million Building a Stronger Isaac Budget at Moranbah Chambers today. “The main driver behind the growth of our 17 communities is a strong sense of self determination underpinned by a diverse a robust economy,” Mayor Baker said. “Isaac’s pulse is its people who come for the opportunity and discover reasons to stay. “To ensure ratepayers do not carry the burden, we will continue to invest wisely into our pools, showgrounds, saleyards and community facilities across the region to ensure they are well equipped to encourage wellbeing and healthy living.” Mayor Baker said Council was preparing a master plan of the Clermont Saleyards and Showgrounds precinct with a view to revitalising it with funding sources as they become available. “Our colourful and historic town of Clermont is home to one of Queensland’s oldest regional shows and agriculture makes up 12.4 per cent of registered businesses in Isaac with a healthy $439 million beef industry.” Division 6 Councillor Lyn Jones said Clermont’s wonderful community facilities would also receive some funding upgrades.
CEO Gary Stevenson and Mayor Anne Baker “To keep our sports ovals as one of the places to be for all ages, irrigation will be installed and works for the BMX track will begin in August,” Cr Jones said. Division 1 Councillor Greg Austen said maintenance works would be carried out in the new financial year for the replacement of the chlorine tank at Glenden Pool. He said in 2018-19, keep an eye out for new seating for the township and a new shade structure over play equipment at Lions Park. “These outcomes will help promote healthy living for workers and their families,” Cr Austen said.

HAVE YOUR SAY ON REGIONAL PLANNING VISION Isaac communities are being urged to contribute to the future vision for the region by contributing to the public consultation process for the Proposed Isaac Regional Planning Scheme. Feedback is being sought from landowners, residents, community organisations, business and industry in relation to the draft document which will create a unified framework for planning and development to help guide the long-term growth of the region. “This planning framework is intended to reflect of the aspirations of our local communities and what they see their areas looking like today, tomorrow and 10 years from now,” Deputy Mayor Kelly Vea Vea said. “It addresses the important economic, social and environmental needs of the region by helping Council to effectively manage land use, development, infrastructure and valuable features. “As a region we are helping to energise the world and that process starts by building strong, sustainable and resilient communities with the capacity to grow through considered and appropriate development.” Cr Vea Vea said the development of a singular, unified planning scheme which covered the entire Isaac region footprint of more than 58,000 square kilometres represented a significant step in the region’s journey. “Once adopted the Isaac Regional Planning Scheme will replace the three legacy planning schemes from the former shires which now comprise the Isaac region; the Belyando Planning Scheme 2009; Nebo Planning
Scheme 2008; and Broadsound Planning Scheme 2005. “It will also bring Council a step closer to revoking the Moranbah Priority Development Area, which will return certain planning powers to local government from the State on a permanent basis.” Cr Vea Vea said she encouraged the community to have their say on the proposed planning scheme during the public consultation period from 16 July to 7 September. “Council has published all the documentation relating to the proposed planning scheme, including factsheets to help explain the technical aspects of land use and development, on its website. The documentation can also be reviewed in hard copy at Council’s regional offices,” she said. “As part of the community consultation process, there will also be opportunities for people to talk face-to-face with Council’s Planning team to discuss the proposed planning scheme at ‘Meet The Planner’ sessions being held across the region throughout July and August. “We want to ensure our communities are armed with all the information they need to contribute to the consultation process.” To find out more about the Proposed Isaac Regional Planning Scheme visit Council’s website isaac.qld.gov.au/planningscheme.

We will continue to strongly lobby state and federal governments for better roads to cater for high volumes of road trains and rural traffic. can expect a decrease in the cost of their rates Dale Appleton underCr Council’s 2018-19 Division 1 - Glenden and Rural West Budget. This year’s Budget is about “Building a Stronger Isaac” and that starts with supporting our local communities For 2018-19, I am pleased to announce that Council has kept rates on hold for households and businesses. There will be no increase in the General Rate across residential, rural and commercial/industrial classifications. In addition, utility charges for waste and sewerage have been held to a 1% increase. Council’s Water Infrastructure Charge will also remain unchanged, but there will be an increase to consumption costs for users. It is a result which illustrates our genuine appreciation of the cost of living pressures affecting Isaac households. We remain focused on Building a Stronger Isaac through upgrades to the critical infrastructure which supports our communities and industries, particularly roads and water, as part of a capital program totalling almost $73 million.
RURAL WEST HIGHLIGHTS Isaac Regional Council will continue to invest in, and advocate for, a strong, safe and resilient road network. We will continue the rollout a $40 million works program, which started in April, to fix 85 per cent of Isaac’s road network due to severe weather events. It’s a total of 706km across 4457 sites that will undergo a major restoration through the jointly funded Commonwealth-State Natural Disaster Relief and
Recovery Arrangements. Rural roads in the Division 1 area is a big winner with the Budget. Glenavon Road,·Eaglefield Road and Pioneer Road have been earmarked over the next 12 months to be part of the $3 million Isaac regional rural gravel re-sheeting program. In regards to water projects, over the next 12 months we will start Theresa Creek Dam renewal works for the dam
structure, spillway, embankments, valves and a septic system upgrade. There will also be a staged replacement of raw water supply pipeline from the dam to Clermont water treatment plant.

BUILDING A STRONGER ISAAC 2018-19 BUDGET: AT A GLANCE RATES AND UTILITY CHARGES Households and business • In 2018-19, Council has adopted a 0% increase in the General Rate across Residential, Rural and Commercial/Industrial classifications. • Individual rating outcomes will vary dependent on land valuations issued by the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy, a process undertaken independently of Council. • Land valuations, which are a starting point for calculating rates, for residential properties decreased by as much as 40% in some areas. • Of the region’s 11,000 rateable properties, 4000 properties will receive a decrease in their rating outcomes compared to last year, including more than half of owner-occupied properties. Of the 7000 properties subject to an increase, only 1500 will experience an outcome of greater than 1%. Resources sector • Land valuations and workforce size assist in formulating rating outcomes for Resource Sector classifications which experienced a 20% increase in valuations and 20% workforce growth. • Those factors put upward pressure on possible rating outcomes, but Council has moderated the potential outcomes resulting from this strong industry growth. Rate increases in resource sector rating categories, including Mining and Barracks, have been constrained to 5.1%. • This reflects not only the present economic conditions but also takes into account the direct and indirect impact on the region at a community, social and Council level. This level of activity puts increased demand on Council services and infrastructure across the region. Utility Charges – Waste And Sewerage Services • Council’s Utility Charges for waste and sewerage services will increase by 1%. In summary • Overall Rates and Utility Charges will increase by just 1.7% for 2018-19. This outcome which is below the present Consumer Price Index (CPI) trend.
• In adopting its Long-Term Financial Forecast, Council has signalled its intention to keep future rate increases at 2% or lower. DISASTER MANAGEMENT CHARGE Reflecting the impact of recent disasters and Council’s commitment to deliver proactive disaster and emergency management services to Isaac region communities will see the annual Disaster Management Charge increase from $20 to $25. WATER CHARGES In 2017-18, Council introduced a new water pricing framework comprising a locality-based Infrastructure Charge and a Consumption Charge, calculated on water usage. This change represented a shift to a more equitable system of water billing for ratepayers and provides for the long-term sustainability of the region’s water supply network. Infrastructure Charge • In 2018-19, there will be no change to the Infrastructure Change from 2017-18. Consumption Charge • The separate Consumption Charge differs between communities based on the source of raw water supply. The charge is divided into three tiers based on cumulative water usage. • Council intends to standardise consumption charges across all communities as part of future water supply agreements. • In 2018-19, the Consumption Charge for the first tier of usage (up to 37.5 kilolitres) will increase by 5 cents per kilolitre across all communities from 10 to 15 cents • For St Lawrence, Carmila, Nebo, Clermont and Moranbah the second tier of usage (37.5-75Kl) will increase by 15 cents from 80 to 95 cents, while the third tier (above 75Kl) will increase by 10 cents to $1.50. • In Dysart, Middlemount and Glenden, the second tier of usage (37.5-75Kl) will increase by 15 cents from 45 to 60 cents, while the third tier (above 75Kl) will increase by 10 cents to 90 cents. • Changes to consumption charges will be reflected in notices issued in January 2019 for the period 1 July-31 December 2018.
HAVE YOUR SAY: 16 JULY - 7 SEPTEMBER
PROPOSED ISAAC REGIONAL PLANNING SCHEME PUBLIC CONSULTATION Isaac Regional Council is seeking community feedback on the Proposed Isaac Regional Planning Scheme. The proposed scheme, when adopted, will provide a singular planning framework for the entire Isaac region. It will consolidate and replace the three legacy schemes from the former shires which now comprise the Isaac local government area. These include the: Belyando Planning Scheme 2009; Nebo Planning Scheme 2008; and Broadsound Planning Scheme 2005. The new Planning Scheme, when adopted, is also proposed to replace the existing Moranbah Urban Development Area Development Scheme. An important part of the planning scheme development process, and the proposed revocation of the Moranbah Priority Development Area, is consulting with the community and stakeholders in relation to the proposed document. The consultation process will commence on 16 July 2018 and continue until 7 September 2018. The proposed planning scheme documentation can be viewed online or downloaded from Council’s website isaac.qld.gov.au/ planningscheme or inspected in hard copy at any of Council’s regional offices during this time. Face-to-face opportunities for members of the community to ask Council’s town planning team questions about the proposed planning scheme will be advertised soon.
WHAT IS A PLANNING SCHEME? A planning scheme describes Council’s plan for the future direction of the region by providing a framework for planning and development. It helps to address the economic, social and environmental needs and aspirations of local communities and the wider region, focusing on land use, development, infrastructure and valuable features of the area. Specifically, a planning scheme: Regulates future development and land use activities; Identifies the region’s preferred growth pattern; Manages community, state and regional interests and expectations; and Includes a Local Government Infrastructure Plan (LGIP) to ensure communities and businesses have the right services.
HOW WILL IT AFFECT YOU? The proposed Isaac Regional Planning Scheme will apply to land that you own or rent. It also applies to the land around you, affects what you can do with your land and what your neighbour can do with theirs. The proposed planning scheme may result in changes to the way you use your property in the future.
