Public Notices Temporary partial closure area extended Centenary Park, Clermont Isaac Regional Council advises Clermont residents that additional fencing will be erected to extend the area of the temporary partial closure at Centenary Park from:
Monday November 6
Council and the contractors are mindful of residents needs and has programmed activities to minimise potential impacts and thanks the community for their cooperation during this construction period. The Regional Hardcourt Renewal/ Repair Program has been funded by the Queensland Government's Works for Queensland program.
Clermont Rag Isaac Regional Council advises the Clermont community that the last publication for the Clermont Rag for 2017 will be Friday December 15, 2017. The first publication for 2018 will be Friday January 12, 2018. The temporary closure is due to a roost of 35,000 little red flying foxes located in the trees on the south bank of Hoods Lagoon (corner of Capella and Lime Streets). Council will continue to monitor the roost and will provide the community with updates should there be any changes. Little red flying foxes naturally migrate through our region from August to January and are known to establish temporary camps in residential areas. Council advises residents not to disturb or attempt selfdispersal of flying foxes. Residents are reminded that it is against the law to harm or disturb a flying fox roost. Council’s website contains answers to common questions around flying foxes at www.isaac.qld.gov.au/flying-foxes.
