ISAAC CLEAN-UP FOLLOWS SEVERE STORM Mayor Anne Baker has praised the resilience of the Isaac community and the actions Council crews, emergency services and essential service providers in response to Tuesday night’s severe storm.
“I thank the local community for their patience and understanding during the clean-up and service restoration from the storm.”
Cr Baker said the Isaac Region Local Disaster Coordination Centre had been activated in response to the storm to support clean-up operations in the aftermath of the event.
“A number of animals were spooked by the storm and escape and we are endeavoring to repatriate registered animals with their owners at no cost,” she said.
“This was a significant storm event which many have compared to Cyclone Debbie in terms its impact and widespread damage,” Cr Baker said. “Wind gusts of 93km/h were recorded at Clermont on Tuesday afternoon, while rainfall of 35mm brought with it hailstones 4-8cm in size, north-west of town. “Several thousand properties were blacked out across the region with power restored to Clermont by Wednesday morning.
Cr Baker said Council’s animal management rangers were working to reunite residents with their four-legged friends who may have escaped in the storm.
Mayor Baker said following storm events, members of the community were encouraged to report tree falls and storm debris on public lands and roads to Council on 1300 ISAACS (1300 47 22 27) to assist with the clean-up process. To report fallen powerlines call Ergon Energy on 131 670. For updates on power outages and service restorations visit the Ergon website www.ergon.com.au For assistance with property and household damage call the State Emergency Service on 132 500. In a life-threatening emergency always call 000.

NEW AGED CARE RESIDENTIAL ACCOMMODATION FOR CLERMONT Contributed by Mackay Hospital and Health Service
Aged care accommodation in Clermont is getting a boost with construction of new aged beds underway at the Multi Purpose Health Service (MPHS).
Ms Whitehead said Monash Lodge was an aging facility that would require significant investment to upgrade and improve.
Mackay Hospital and Health Service Chief Executive Jo Whitehead said the $8.1 million project would improve the quality of the living environment for the residents.
“The Board has considered various options and believes constructing purpose-built accommodation at Clermont MPHS is the best way to enhance the living environment of the residents.
The project is funded by the Department of Health and the Mackay HHS and will put all aged care beds in a single location.
“In coming to this decision we have consulted with Clermont Health Advisory Network Team (CHANT), local community members and other key stakeholders including the Isaac Regional Council to ensure we deliver the best possible outcome for the residents.
Currently there are 16 residents at Monash Lodge in Monash Street and another six residents at the MontCler facility already part of the MPHS. Ms Whitehead said 18 new rooms with ensuites would be built at Clermont MPHS and four existing rooms renovated and refurbished. Contractors Paynter Dixon started work in November last year with an estimated completion date in late 2018. The kitchen is also being refurbished and expected to be complete next month, “This is a very exciting announcement for the community and will be particularly welcomed by residents, their families and staff,” she said. “The residents will also benefit from closer access to services at Clermont MPHS, such as allied health, and I’m sure visitors and staff will appreciate the new surrounds.”
CLERMONT RAG
“I’d like to thank staff, residents and community members who took the time to give feedback on the plans and who offered valuable suggestions, some of which we have been able to incorporate in the final design,” she said. The layout of the new facility will be similar to Monash Lodge and will include an all-weather pick up and set down area and a covered walkway. Monash Lodge is owned by Isaac Regional Council and managed by Mackay HHS.
