a remote-controlled dozer to reinstate the wall or coffer dam between the Open Cut Pit (OCP) and Sandstone Gully.
Heritage Minerals was contracted by the Department of Natural Resources and Mines, Manufacturing, and Regional and Rural Development to build the coffer dam, between these two bodies of contaminated water.
The original wall was undermined during the tailings reclaim process between 1982 and 1990.
Heritage Minerals is reinstating the wall between the two bodies of water as an important early step in the mining plan which also represents an important step in environmental rehabilitation of the site.
Director, Corporate Affairs Craig Wilson said, the Department encouraged Heritage Minerals to look at ways of reducing risk and improve safety when building the wall - the result was the use of a remotecontrolled dozer.
“Using the remote-controlled dozer will ensure that personnel are kept away from the tip face and will provide for a safer working environment,” Mr Wilson said.
Works on this Heritage Minerals project started in November 2024 with the relocation of the evaporators and preliminary works on haul roads.
Mr Wilson said separating Sandstone Gully from the OCP will make it possible for Heritage to dewater (empty) Sandstone Gully to allow the reprocessing of tailings to start.
“We will pump water from Sandstone over the wall to the OCP which will allow for the commencement of earthworks and the cleaning out of Sandstone Gully,” he said.
“Cleaning Sandstone Gully will contribute to reducing environmental issues on the site,” Mr Wilson said.
Heritage Minerals, Andrew Lawry – General Manager Operations and Project Delivery – said the CAT D8 Dozer had the same functionality as a dozer operated by a person, but with much greater safety features.
“A perimeter can be programmed into the dozer, so it won’t work outside that perimeter. There is also a kill switch,” Mr Lawry said.
“The dozer had to be retrofitted with the remote controls which can only be done on the newer model machines,” Mr Lawry said.

With works underway and the remote-controlled dozer operating at the same pace as an operated dozer, the wall completion is expected to be between April and June.
As Heritage Minerals moves closer to Financial Close and operation, the remote-controlled dozer represents the start of another era of innovation at Mount Morgan Mine.

GOODBYE, MR MCKAY
More than any other profession, teachers have the power to transform lives for the better. Hollywood knows it and have made some inspiring movies illustrating how teachers have used their influence to change the lives of students – think of Goodbye, Mr Chips, To Sir, With Love, Dead Poets’ Society, Freedom Writers, Dangerous Minds, School of Rock and even the teachers from the Harry Potter series.
While some of these movies are based on writings from the minds of literary figures, some are based on true stories – but the message is clear in all – one dedicated instructor can make a difference in the lives of generations of children – this is the case with Mount Morgan Central State School’s, Denis McKay who will put his “figurative” duster aside to take on a new challenge – planning for retirement and getting his golf handicap to single digits!
Mr McKay’s first teaching job after finishing his teaching degree at Mount Gravatt’s College of Advance Education 39 years ago was at Mount Morgan – and he liked the school, the students and colleagues so much that he stayed, despite being offered
other jobs and postings!
The tolling of the school bell on Friday, 4 April 2025 will herald Mr McKay’s last official teaching day. When he uses his accrued Long-Service and other leave –his tenure at Mount Morgan will stand at 40 years. His tenure is second only to Dawn Lennox and Jo Pearce.
“I started teaching at Mount Morgan Central in 1987. It was my first posting, and I was immediately drawn to the town, through the friendliness of the community.
“I’ve been very lucky to work with dedicated professionals throughout my career at the Mount. While it has had its challenges, and I received other job offers I felt that this was the right place for me.
While he started out teaching Year 7, over the years he has held many positions in the school including Acting Principal, Acting Head of Curriculum and Student engagement.
“More recently I have held the roles of Teacher/Librarian and the Physical Education teacher. This diversity of opportunities was another reason I’ve stayed in Mount Morgan as it provided me
with new and exciting challenges,” Mr McKay said.
Mr McKay’s family has always had a strong connection with the Education sector – his father was a school principal, his mother a teacher and his three brothers worked in education. His sister was the only one in the family who chose a different career –journalism.
Due to his long tenure in one school, Mr McKay has been at the coalface of the ever-changing education system.
“I have seen many changes over my career. The physical changes have been dramatic with the inclusion of new buildings in the infant section, the moving of prep into the school grounds and a new library built. We also had an undercover play area and stage constructed.
“The moving of Year 7 to the High School in 2015 was a big move,” he said.
“By far the biggest changes though have been around technology with the introduction of interactive white boards, computers and I-Pads into the classroom.
“The staff of MMCSS have readily adapted to these new methods.”
Retiring won’t come easy for this teacher who has loved every moment of his career.
Those “gotcha” moments when you see a student grasp a new concept are wonderful. Coaching has also been a passion of mine, and I really enjoyed taking teams to Rockhampton for Interschool Sport.
“To allow this to happen we started the Weekly Raffles at the recently closed Railway Hotel where 10’s of thousands of dollars was raised over the years to enable our kids to travel.
“Many staff have contributed to keeping this going, but I would like to give a special shout out to Anne
Continued on Page 6
Hinchcliffe, Kev and Audrey Crawford, Peter Hixon and Cheryl Cunynghame who also went above and beyond to support the raffles.
“I loved how the Community supported this and was regularly told by patrons “Anything for the kids.”
“Being at the school for nearly 40 years has allowed me to get to know many of the families well and it’s great seeing new students enrolling and telling me – “you taught my Mum/Dad.”
“Catching up with former students gives me great pleasure hearing how their lives have panned out, what jobs they are doing and the new families they have made,” Mr McKay said.
He said Mount Morgan was a wonderful town and he felt privileged to have had such a strong connection with it.
“While there have been challenges, as there is with any job, my memories of the town are overwhelmingly positive. The fantastic staff members I’ve worked with, the parents who genuinely want what is best for their children and the friendly, generous and accepting community members. I’ve made friendships that will last a lifetime. To the students – Thank you for everything – every one of you has added something to my life, and I have loved working with you over the years.
So, what will retirement look like for Mr McKay?
“I plan to try and reduce my golf handicap and a little later do some travelling with my wife Narelle as well as spend time with my adult children, Stephanie and Angus,” he said.
Central State School Principal Michelle Emery said Mr McKay was one of a kind.
“As a team, we are going to miss him. He has touched and changed the trajectory of so many lives,” she said.
American historian, Henry Brooks Adams said a teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influences stops.
After almost 40 years it is certain that Mr McKay’s influence will continue for decades to come. Continued from Page 4
Did you know regional Australia produces over 30 percent of the national economic output? The Coalition understands that rural and regional Australia provides the bulk of our exports and makes a vast economic contribution to Australia’s wealth and living standards. We believe that our regions deserve a government that represents them, understands them, and invests
in them. Without our regions, Australia would be unrecognisable. A failure to invest in and enhance the drivers of our regional economies will cost Australia’s future growth and prosperity significantly.
We believe that all Australians deserve excellent fundamental service delivery, and that health and education in our regions should be of the highest standard.
We know that there will always be differences between life in the bush versus life in the city, but that a fundamental role of government is to ensure high quality essential services and support, regardless of postcode. Regional Australia will be well represented across a Coalition Government, with senior Ministers from rural and regional Australia in Cabinet and the Ministry.
We will have a strong regional perspective on all decision making and always look for opportunities to ensure equity and fairness. We will address critical gaps in access to essential services. Regional communities contribute significantly to our national economic and social fabric and deserve quality local services.
A Coalition Government will:
• Invest in roads, rail and local infrastructure for communities and economic production.
• Fund enabling infrastructure to unlock new housing in regional and rural Australia such as water, sewerage and access roads.
• Protect jobs and businesses in traditional local industries that are under threat.
• Ensure government regulation is balanced and genuine, not used for activist causes or obstructing our regional industries.
• Protect prime agricultural land from destruction by ideological projects.
• Develop and support access to export markets and trade opportunities to advance regional businesses.
• Improve access to telecommunications and high-speed internet.
• Invest in practical local water infrastructure projects to support agriculture, industry and economic development.
• Deliver essential services that are of high quality regardless of geography.
• Work with local industries to address chronic regional workforce shortages.
• Support regional health worker attraction, recruitment and retention initiatives.
• Back local solutions to provide better access to flexible childcare and education services for families living in regional, rural and remote communities.
• Support existing regional industries to grow and foster new manufacturing and processing opportunities to capitalise on the competitive advantages of our regions.
• Turbocharge our mining and resources sector and lean into growing opportunities like critical minerals by accelerating approvals and cutting red and green tape.
• Unlock economic growth in Northern Australia.
This will be the basis to grow a stronger regional Australia.

BOULDER CREEK WIND FARM UPDATE
The access track network is taking shape at the Boulder Creek Wind Farm construction site near Mount Morgan.
Approximately four kilometres of internal tracks have been created so far to enable safe vehicle access around the site and a temporary construction compound has been established.
In other activities on site, the project has begun collecting cycad seeds and relocating cycads as part of its cycad translocation program. Cycas megacarpa in the wind farm development footprint will be relocated to the project’s dedicated offset management area to ensure the long-term protection of the species.
Cycad seeds are being collected to grow additional cycads to account for those that are unsuitable for translocation or do not survive the translocation process. These seedlings will be grown in a nursery and then planted once they have reached suitable maturity.
The Boulder Creek Wind Farm is co-owned by Aula Energy and CS Energy, and will be located on the ranges between Westwood and Mount Morgan, approximately 40km southeast of Rockhampton. It will consist of 38 wind turbines with a combined capacity of 228 megawatts and will generate enough electricity to power more than 85,000 Australian homes.
Local businesses and individuals who would like to be involved are encouraged to register their interest via the project website at www.bouldercreekwindfarm. com/contact.

RRC to renew amenities at No. 7 Dam
Rockhampton Regional Council is replacing the amenities at Mount Morgan No. 7 Dam, with works already underway.
Parks, Sport and Public Spaces Councillor Cherie Rutherford said the project, which was funded through Council’s amenities renewal budget, will see the two existing amenities replaced.
“The new amenities block will include two ambulant cubicles, a single unisex cubicle, and a unisex accessibility room equipped with infant changing facilities,” Cr Rutherford said.
“We’ve been mindful to stage the project so we can minimise the impact to the community.
“Our team will remove the northern amenities block which is located closest to the playground, while construction takes place on the replacement.
“Once the new amenity is built, the southern amenities block will be removed.”
Councillor Rutherford said she is looking forward to seeing to the completion of the project.
“We see a range of people visit and use the No. 7 Dam and new facilities will mean a lot to those who use the area,” she said.
“The Dam is a popular destination, attracting families, recreational users, and tourists to the enjoy the beauty of this location. It's exciting to see this project come to fruition.”
The project is expected to take six to eight weeks to complete, with the new amenities scheduled for use from the end of June.

NEW OWNER FOR CARAVAN PARK
Sam has been the owner since mid-February when the sale closure became official.
While he is new to the Caravan Park industry, Sam is no stranger to owning a business. He previously owned a transport business and has also managed Air BNB’s in the past as well.
Born in China, Sam came to Australia about 20 years ago where he lived in Sydney for many years.
Sam has a passion for travel and it was this passion that led to him taking on the ownership of the park as he wanted to be involved in a business that connected with travel.
As a sole owner, the day to day management of the park can be quite arduous - which is why Sam brought his sister with him - he runs the business and does the outside work while his sister cleans the motels and amenities. The quiet and peaceful township of Mount Morgan was an added bonus for Sam who has also grown to love the beautiful landscapes.
Meet Sam Liang, the new owner of Mount Morgan Motel and Van Park.
Early Years Place connects families
Gracemere and Mount Morgan Early Years Place provides free support and connection for families and children within the Mount Morgan and Gracemere communities.
One of the programs delivered by the team is "Soul Sisters", which is designed to foster a sense of community and belonging among mothers, grandmothers, aunts and carers of children from birth to eight years.
This free program brings registered participants together through engaging activities such as art, craft, and cooking, creating opportunities for meaningful conversations while participating in a hands-on experience.
The Early Years Place team values and celebrates family's unique skills and abilities, and our Soul Sisters sessions are enriched by participants sharing and bringing their own perspectives to the conversations.
During Soul Sisters, our team offer a variety of play experiences for their children to help support the mother/grandmother/aunt/carer to be present in the session.
This approach embodies the philosophy behind the proverb, "It takes a village to raise a child," identifying the importance of a supportive community network in a child's wellbeing and development.
Through programs like "Soul Sisters" and supported playgroups, the team actively encourages and supports the families to build and strengthen their village.
Check out the Gracemere and Mount Morgan Early Years Place Facebook page to keep up to date with other exciting programs we have coming up including our Holiday Program for the April school holidays!
