Isaac Regional Council has announced a new intake of trainees and apprentices across the region.

Applications opened Friday March 18 with fourteen positions available across the towns of Moranbah, Clermont, Middlemount and Dysart.

Acting CEO Aaron Johansson said $137,500 from the Queensland Government’s Skilling Queenslanders For Work First Start Program has provided Council with a significant subsidy to boost their intake of trainees and apprentices.

“The funding will provide ten more positions and supports long-term learning and development in the region.”

“In addition Council is funding four more positions. Council is committed to supporting genuine career pathways and employment opportunities,” he said.

“These positions combine hands-on work experience with a nationally recognised qualification.”

“Each opportunity ranges between one to four years in duration, with positions available in business administration, horticulture, carpentry, plumbing, electrical, plant operations, water and sewerage and libraries.

“We are excited to also have two school-based traineeships available at our Moranbah Library as part of this intake.

Students interested in the Moranbah school-based traineeships should contact their school Careers Transition Officer.

Road survey vehicle cruising IsaacIsaac Regional Council is keeping a close eye on roads with a survey vehicle hitting the streets soon.

Acting CEO Aaron Johansson said residents can expect to see the vehicle in April.

“Council has enlisted the help of the ARRB Group to bring the Hawkeye 2000 Series dedicated Network Survey Vehicle to the Isaac region.

“The specialist vehicle is equipped with cameras and lasers to assess the condition of roads.

“It will conduct a large-scale network survey of 3000km’s of Isaac roads over six to eight weeks.

“The equipment can detect everything from pavement defects like cracks and potholes, to line marking and road surface roughness.

“The survey data will help Council better distribute roads fund-ing and project where funding will be needed into the future.

“This information can also help assess damage caused by future flooding events.

“The survey demonstrates our commitment to effective and sustainable infrastructure that supports our communities and its economic sectors.”

The road survey is the first phase of a long term Asset Man-agement Plan for the Isaac region.

The plan will include an extensive audit of roads, water and sewerage network, parks and gardens as well as council buildings, vehicles and machinery.

FuzzbookAnother busy week in Clermont for the boys in blue. A couple

of assaults reported which have been cleared. Nothing to tell

the community on this one but please practice tolerance with

each other and if there is a confrontation looming between

parties then by all means use dispute resolution to sort issues

out. Just search on the internet and you will find the details

and get the ball rolling.

A former local bloke that used to live in the area and was

spending some time in jail has managed to escape with the

help of his former partner. This has caused all sorts of issues

for local police including Emerald. The accomplice has been

caught on this one but the escapee, Kevin O’Connor is still at

large at the time of me penning this. Any information should

be rung through to police link or 000.

The weekend saw the election. Crowds were well behaved

and no issues to report.

I think next time though on the day we should have some form

of competition between the

candidates such as running, high jump and so on to

determine the strongest candidate. With the heat we may

have to postpone the polls to winter from now on.

Good to report no drink drivers have been apprehended lately.

Clermont police are stepping up the traffic enforcement with

Easter Holidays and the Rodeo coming up, so watch out for

increased activity. Remember if you don’t do the wrong thing

you have nothing to be concerned about.

That’s it for now but any other issues come and drop into the

station or drop us a line.

Regards The Sarge.

State announcement huge win for workersThe Mayor of Queensland’s largest mining region has

welcomed the State Government recommendation for

legislative reform on 100% fly in/fly out (FIFO).

Isaac Regional Council Mayor Anne Baker said the news is a

long-awaited, positive step forward for Queensland workers

and their families.

“We’ve been working hard for so many years for all

Queensland workers to have genuine choice,” she said.

“As a region that is home to two 100% FIFO mines, this is a

fantastic win for our resource communities, regional centres

and our next generations.

“It’s vital that people across regional Queensland have

the opportunity to apply for local mining jobs, and this

legislation will mean workers can no longer be locked out of

local employment.

“Our communities will benefit from this progress in so many

areas—employment, training, local business, accommodation

and importantly, the health and wellbeing of our people.”

“We look forward to assessing the detail of the Queensland

Government’s comprehensive policy and legislative frame-

work later in the year,” Mayor Baker said.

QCoal Community Dental Service bringing bright smiles to ClermontResidents of Clermont and the surrounding areas are encouraged to book an appointment with the QCoal Community Dental Service during its visit.

This free service, delivered by the Royal Flying Doctor Service, will be in Clermont March 14 – 24.

Comprising two dental surgeries in a purpose-built semi-trailer, the service provides dental care and treatment in communities where there is limited access to oral health services. The service is funded by the independently owned Queensland mining company QCoal Group through the QCoal Foundation. Anyone can make an appointment, and there is no out-of-pocket cost for patients.

QCoal Group Managing Director Christopher Wallin said the service aimed to bring quality oral health care to people in rural and remote communities.

“QCoal Foundation was established to enrich rural and remote communities, and I know from talking to our own employees and their families that a lack of access to dental care is a major concern for them,” Mr Wallin said.

“Thanks to this service, they can now get the care they need on their doorstep, free of charge,” he said.

RFDS State Services Manager, Lauren Jesberg said the partnership between the RFDS and the QCoal Foundation was last year extended for another three years and represents a significant win for those living and working in rural and remote communities where access to dental care is a major concern.

“Our dental experts can provide everything from a simple check and clean, through to an extraction or X-ray.

“Booking in advance is crucial, so if you need to see a dentist don’t delay and call 1800 002 507 to make an appointment.”

Ms Jesberg said the results supported research that highlighted a lack of access to oral health care in regional communities.

“So far we have provided a significant amount of acute treatment. The data we’ve collected well and truly supports the need for the service which has been made possible by QCoal Foundation,” she said.

Together, the Flying Doctor and QCoal Foundation will continue to look at ways to enhance the service and partner with Government to ensure the people who live in rural and remote Queensland have access to the same level of oralhealth care as their metropolitan counterparts.

Been wondering what will happen in the Woolshed? Wonder no more!

Guests will be treated to a complimentary drink upon arriving at the Woolshed, followed by a two-course Woolshed themed meal by Maryann Nicholson to delight the taste buds. A photo booth and dancing are sure to entertain, and a licensed bar will be operating.

Buses will be operating to and from the event, departing at 5:30pm and 6:00pm from schools in Clermont and returning people to town from 10:30pm.

Look after furry loved ones this EasterCouncil is encouraging pet owners to be responsible over the Easter School holidays.

CEO Rod Ferguson said Isaac Regional Council is already seeing increased reports of

dogs on the streets via social media.

“Roaming pets are dangerous. Not only is your pet’s life at risk, they pose a serious public health and safety risk.”

“Pet owners must ensure their pet has fresh food, water and safe, secure shelter.”

Mr Ferguson said residents have the right to walk in public places without fear of attack from a loose dog.

“Roaming dogs may spread diseases and parasites to other animals and pose traffic hazards.”

“Animal owners have a duty to take reasonable care to see that their animals do not cause any damage by straying.”

“If reasonable care is not taken and damage results, the owner may be liable to prosecution and will have to pay compensation.”

“Our Local Laws Officers regularly deal with lost or stray dogs with 241 dogs impounded over the past 12 months.”

Mr Ferguson said to remember, lost dogs are alone, and registration brings them home.

“Dog registration is an important investment in your pet. It means Council can identify you in case your pet is lost, injured or involved in an incident.”

“If your dog is lost or missing, go to the Councils website and check out the ‘Impounded Animals’ page.”

“Isaac Regional Council strives hard to re-home any impounded animals in their care.”

Visit our Paws from the Pound page at www.isaac.qld.gov.au or call 1300 ISAACS to find out more.
