It’s time to show how much you care about keeping our region beautiful by rolling up your sleeves for Clean Up Australia Day, Sunday March 6.
Isaac Regional Council is again supporting this important environmental initiative, hosting community clean up events in Moranbah, Clermont, Dysart, Middlemount, Glenden, Nebo and Carmila.
Residents, community groups and companies across the region are invited come along and help do their bit towards protecting their local environment.
Isaac Regional Council CEO Rod Ferguson said Clean Up Australia Day provides a fun and simple way for individuals to make a real difference to the environment.
“Whether you pull together your own Clean Up Australia team or join us at a Council-organised event, the important thing is that we all get out there do our bit,” he said.
“Littering and illegal dumping has terrible long-term effects on wildlife, the natural environment and the visual appeal of our towns.
“On March 6, I encourage everyone to head to a location that is important to them – a local park, sports field, beach, walking track, creek, street or bike way – and help keep our environment beautiful.
“Don’t forget to bring along your gloves, hat, closed-in shoes, long-sleeved shirt, sunglasses and sunscreen.”
To register a local site or join a site, go to www.cleanupaustraliaday.org.au or call 1800 CUA DAY (1800 282 329), or just turn up at your chosen site on the day and register as a volunteer.

When women achieve, we all doWhen women achieve, we all do is the message at celebrations across Isaac as part of Queensland Women’s Week 7-13 March, 2016.
Isaac Regional Council CEO Rod Ferguson said everyone is invited to special events recognising and celebrating the achievements of Queensland women and girls.
“These events are opportunities for women of all ages and backgrounds to join together in celebration.”
“We should reflect and acknowledge the outstanding contribution women make to our communities, workplaces and lives.”
“Council is proud to be hosting or supporting these events.”
The theme for the inaugural week is ‘Good for her. Great for us. When women achieve, Queensland succeeds.’
“This theme celebrates women’s achievements and acknowledges that supporting and enabling women to take advantage of opportunities to succeed is good for everyone.”
International Women’s Day, held globally on 8 March each year, will be a highlight of Queensland Women’s Week.
On that day, Queensland women join millions of others throughout the world to celebrate the economic, political and social achievements of women in the past, present and future.
“The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity, make the pledge at www.internationalwomensday.com/Theme.”
These events are supported through the Department of Communities, Child Safety and Disability Services Community Drought Support Packages.
Council distributes funds to local community organisations who deliver a range of local community events and activities that contribute to connectedness, social wellbeing and increase access to support services.
Event in your local community:Clermont – A Woman’s Touch at 6.30pm Friday, March 11 at Lotta Latte’s. Tickets available for pre-purchase from Lotta Latte’s for $25pp. Tickets also available at the door. Enquiries: 1300 472 227.
Celebrating women: Isaac Regional Council CEO Rod Ferguson, centre, encourages people to recognise and celebrate the achievements of women at events around Isaac.
Graziers set sights on sustainabilityGraziers in North Queensland will get the opportunity learn more about sustainable beef production practices at Grazing Best Management Practices (BMP) workshops in March.
AgForce Regional Manager Paul Burke said the workshops will give graziers an understanding of the program and how it can help them improve their long term productivity, profitability and sustainability.
“Grazing BMP provides best practice guidelines, outlined in the programs five modules, to help graziers improve their farm practices and demonstrate sustainable and ethical beef production.”
The five modules include: soil health, animal health and welfare, grazing land management, animal production and people and business. Graziers will get the chance to begin their Grazing BMP Self-Assessment at the workshops, which involves answering questions about their current practices.
“While working through the modules graziers will be able to see how they stack up against industry standard and identify areas for improvement within their own practices to become ‘at’ or ‘above’ industry standard.”
“Grazing BMP then provides a conduit for graziers to upskill or adjust their practices according to their identified areas that need improvement,” Mr Burke said.
“Sustainably produced food is becoming a mainstream consumer expectation rather than a novelty, the Grazing BMP program demonstrates graziers are addressing consumer demands, while continuing to protect the environment.”
The workshops will also feature guest speakers, including: Noel Brinsmead from AgForce Projects; Bob Shepard and Jo Robertson from QDAF and Corrie Grimmett from Livestock Biosecurity Network.
Workshops will be held at:
• Twin Hills Racecourse - Tuesday 8 March 2016
• Pentland Soldiers Hall - Thursday 10 March 2016
Workshops are free and run from 8.30am - 4pm. Registration is essential. Attendees can register online at www.agforceprojects.org.au or call (07) 3238 6048.
An update on drought services available will also be provided at the information sessions.

Well sorry to disappoint so many with not having my articles in but I was on a spot of leave.
Firstly hasn’t the place greened up a bit and oh my how the mowers have sung. It is a pity that so many grumble about the mowing. You can’t have a green lawn without the rain and you certainly can’t expect the grass to grow just enough to stay under the mower blades! But I do have one request. With so many kids walking to and from school I notice that some yards are very overgrown and with that comes brown snakes. Children are inquisitive and dare each other the most ridiculous brave tasks. Don’t want to see anyone bitten, so if we could all keep footpaths and debris to a minimum around our houses it would be best for everyone and especially good for any emergency services workers when they come to help you in your time of need.
Kids and bikes. Look 95% are doing the right thing and it is bad that some get stereotyped in with the rest. The other 5% are dodging the rules. I do not care if it is uncomfortable, hot or simply uncool to wear a helmet on your head. It is the law and it is to protect the brain matter of the kids. It does not wash with me that Little Billy or Johnny left their helmet at home or they do not have one. Simply leave the bike at home and walk. I of course think it is suspicious when kids are walking their bikes to school. Bikes that get seized from children will be waiting at the police station for the parents to pick up and explain their child’s actions.
On the highway it seems definite now that traffic has slowed down and definitely thinned out more than my hair. But we still keep getting speeders. The speeds have reduced overall which is a good thing and locals seem to have learned their lessons than people travelling through.
For P plate drivers, the P plate is essential. It avoids you getting a fine and tells other drivers that although some of you think you are Skafey you may not necessarily have the skill to pull it off. If you don’t know who that is ask your parents.
Learner drivers, same deal tell everyone your a learner, and for both lots of drivers make sure you take the plates back off again if mum or dad are driving as this can fetch a hefty fine also.
Still no information has come in regarding a rear window on a white utility at the hospital being smashed. If anyone knows anything ring the station and tell us what you know. Anonymity is assured, well unless your the one that did it. Information is also sought on some road signs that were damaged on the Clermont Alpha Road near Cremorne Station about 90 kilometres towards Alpha. It would appear someone travelling to the Alpha Rodeo may have decided to smash some signs up. Fortunately no one was hurt but it was a dangerous situation as motorists could have crashed into a concrete wall without the detouring signs. So if you have anything please call the station.
Lastly I would like to talk about trespassing. If you do not own the land you are walking on, get off it unless you have permission to be there from the owner. This includes the government in some situations. Lately people have been taking liberties when they spot a mountain, an interesting spur, or a water hole they want to go and explore. This is not on people and large fines await anyone that flaunts landowners rites. Some farmers and business owners have to pay huge sums of insurance just to operate their business. They don’t need some Leyland brother type explorer traipsing through their paddocks, getting hurt and then deciding it was everyone elses fault when they end up in that predicament. So to reiterate, stay out of other peoples property.
That’s about it for now. Keep up the good work and be patient when you get pulled up for an RBT and spoken to by the police. That’s our job!!
Should have a contest on social media or something to see who gets tested the most for the year, the winner certainly would not get a carton of beer!
ThanksThe Sarge
