Anime-nia hits Isaac this Youth Week It’s all about animation and technology in Isaac this National Youth Week with youth encouraged to ‘Be the Future’.

Kicking off Friday, April 8, local youth will dive into the unique world of anime, with a drawing competition and free movie nights held in Dysart, Middlemount, Moranbah, Clermont and Glenden.

Isaac Regional Council CEO Rod Ferguson said the week’s activities aim to inspire young people to explore new technology and to think about their future.

“We are excited to be screening two critically acclaimed anime films this year, Howl’s Moving Castle and Princess Mononoke,” he said.

“I know we have some very talented young artists in our region and I’m looking forward to seeing the entries in this quirky competition,” he said.

In conjunction, Isaac Libraries will be launching ComicsPlus during youth week – a new service which gives young people (and the young at heart) access to global digital comic, manga and anime books.

Free Movie Screenings in Isaac Friday April 15 – 6.30pm start • Moranbah (Town Square) • Middlemount (Youth Centre) • Glenden (Recreation Centre) • Clermont (Civic Centre) Saturday April 16 – 6.30pm start • Dysart (Youth Centre)

“Both films carry the key message of encouraging young people to take control of their destiny; a great fit for this year’s youth week theme and an opportunity for young people to explore the anime genre.

Anime Drawing Competition • Open from Friday April 8 – Sunday April 17 • Winners announced Wednesday April 27

“There will also be an anime drawing competition, which is open to all secondary students with prizes of $150 for first place and $50 for the runner up.

For full details on the Anime drawing competition and Isaac Youth Week activities visit www.isaac.qld.gov.au or call 1300 ISAACS (472 227).

Rates arriving soon Rates notices will start to arrive in letterboxes for over 10,000 properties from Wednesday March 30 with the discount period open until Friday April 29.

Chief Executive Officer Rod Ferguson said if rate payers have encountered delays with the postal service in their area they can register an email address with Council.

“We understand that the postal service to some rural areas can leave residents with little time to pay their rates,” he said.

“We encourage rate payers in those areas to register their email address with Council so an additional copy of their rates notice can be sent electronically.”

“It is also important for rate payers to update their postal details with Council to ensure rates notices arrive on time.”

“Ratepayers who make prompt payment on or before April 29 will receive a 10 per cent discount on general rates.”

“Some financial institutions can take up to three working days to process an electronic payment, so please check with your bank or credit union to ensure your payment is received by Council in time to secure your discount.”

Anyone wanting to prepay their rates notices is able to do so through the normal payment channels, and can contact Council’s Rates Officers on 1300 ISAACS (472 227) to receive advice on the estimated amount.

General rates contribute to the cost of vital community services in the region, including public facilities, environmental health, local roads, footpaths, bikeways, and much more.

Council rates and charges that remain unpaid after April 29 will incur 11 per cent interest per annum, compounded daily.

To register your email address or if you have not received your rates notice by April 6, contact Council at records@isaac.qld. gov.au or phone 1300 ISAACS (472 227) between 8.30am to 5.00pm Monday to Friday.
