Clermont skating into the shade Skate park youth are cooler in the shade with the completion of Clermont’s brand new hardcover shade structure.
Local Councillor Lyn Jones said local youth are rolling into the upgraded facility. “It’s fantastic to see our local youth enjoying the shaded skate park after school and on weekends, especially with the soaring temperatures we’re experiencing,” she said.
“The fit for purpose design provides youth with ample protection from the elements to enjoy the skate park year round.” “Council has also installed new hard roof shade structures for parks in Dysart, Moranbah, Middlemount and Nebo.”
“I know the community has been looking forward to this upgrade, which was promised in the 2016-17 ‘Connecting our Communities’ Budget.”
These upgrades are positive additions to Isaac Regional Council’s SHARP program; Strengthening Healthy and Attractive Regional Places.
Mayor Anne Baker said the 25 x 30 metre hardcover installation delivers vital long-term infrastructure to the community.

Save the date for the Mayor’s Charity Ball Save the date for Isaac’s night of nights, Mayor Anne Baker’s annual Charity Ball is set for Saturday October 21. Isaac Regional Charity Fund Director and Mayor Anne Baker said it will be an unforgettable night of fun and fundraising in Moranbah Town Square.
“More details, including the very worthy cause for 2017, will be announced soon.” The stylish black tie affair is being held under the night sky and will feature a sumptuous three course dinner, live music, prizes, charity auction and much more.
“As a local leader you become more aware of those heart-breaking issues that directly affect people every day in our communities. “Issues like depression and anxiety, domestic violence and youth suicide. “Over the past three years, the Mayor’s Charity Ball has fundraised for Beyond Blue (2014), White Ribbon (2015) and last year for Youth Suicide Prevention (2016).” “Working with generous sponsors, volunteers, attendees, organisations, community groups and charities to help raise funds
Luhong Min and Mike Russell at the 2016 Mayor’s Charity Ball
and awareness of these issues have been some of the most rewarding experiences in my life.” “We’ve established the Isaac Regional Charity Fund (IRCF) with Mayor’s Ball as the major fundraising event to continue this work as grassroots level in Isaac.”
Organisations interested in sponsoring this event can register their interest by contacting the Office of the Mayor on 07 4846 3504 or email mayorsball@isaac.qld.gov.au.

NBN work begins in Clermont Work is now underway on the construction of the National Broadband Network in Clermont. Residents may have noticed Visionstream and NBN trucks and signage, after work started this week on constructing fibre to the node technology to more than 1300 premises. Visionstream is a trusted construction delivery partner of the NBN. Residents can expect to see our friendly subcontractors boring and digging trenches, installing new pits, constructing seven new cabinets, hauling, splicing and testing fibre cables, copper jointing and interfacing the copper network with the fibre network. We want to minimise the impact on the community as much as possible during this build phase and will be working closely with Council.
During this time, residents may notice sections of the footpath closed briefly and signage and safety barriers in place, as safety is very important to us. We expect to be finished construction by the end of April 2017. We pride ourselves on embracing local communities and leaving them just the way we found them - if not better, so should you have any concerns or questions, no matter how big or small, about our construction activities, we would love to hear from you. Thank you for your understanding and patience in advance. The NBN is expected to start offering active services later this year.
