RESIDENTS ENCOURAGED TO HAVE THEIR SAY ON COUNCIL OPERATIONSResidents in the Isaac region will have the opportunity to have their say on Isaac Regional Council’s services and facilities through an independent survey.Independent market research agency – Taverner Research Group – has been procured to conduct the online and phone 2021 Community Satisfaction Survey.

The intent of the survey is to provide insights into the factors that drive satisfaction within the community and show Council the effectiveness of its operational service delivery.

Mayor Anne Baker said the survey has been designed to assess the performance of Council across a range of measures to identify ways to provide improvement or more effective service delivery to residents.

“It’s vitally important for residents to take part in this survey. If you get called, I would encourage you to use this opportunity to provide your crucial feedback,” Mayor Baker said.

“If you say no, you are giving up your chance to help shape our future and help shape our strategic planning, especially through social sustainability and overall quality of life for our 17 unique communities.”

CEO Jeff Stewart-Harris said the 2021 survey has two elements.

“One is a random telephone survey of

a statistical sample of Isaac households, representative of the population and their location,” he said.

“And two, is an online survey which all members of the community can complete.

“The survey questions may take up to 15 minutes to complete on either phone or online.

“Researchers will only be asking for demographic information not personal details.

“We appreciate you taking the time to genuinely assist us with your valuable feedback.”

Households selected at random for telephone surveying will be contacted by field researchers between 4.30pm and 8.30pm from Monday, 25 October 2021 until Friday 19 November 2021.

This contact may occur via landline or mobile numbers (previously surveys have only used landline contact, but up to 30% of the population no longer have a landline phone).

To complete the online survey residents can visit https://ap1se.voxco.com/SE/19/6169/ and follow the links, ending Friday 26 November 2021.

If you require further information please contact Council’s Customer Service Centre available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on 1300 ISAACS (1300 472 227) or drop into your local Council office or Isaac Library.

CLERMONT RAGFRIDAY, 29 OCTOBER 2021

GRAB YOUR ISAAC REGION MATE AND VACCINATEHealth Minister Yvette D’Ath joined Isaac Regional Council Mayor Anne Baker in Moranbah on Tuesday, 19 October 2021 to encourage residents to grab a mate and vaccinate. There has been a significant increase in the vaccination in the Isaac region over the past eight weeks.

Mayor Baker said while this is good to see, the Isaac region remains in the bottom quarter compared to the rest of Australia.

“With yesterday’s announcement that the borders will be opening for Christmas and international travel back on the agenda, we need to act now in order to protect our communities,” Mayor Baker said at Vanguard Health.

“We need to reach 80% of the population vaccinated to protect the freedoms regional Queenslanders have enjoyed.

“I strongly encourage everyone who is eligible for the vaccine to roll up their sleeves, grab a mate and vaccinate.

“It is even easier to get vaccinated with outreach clinics right across the Isaac region on

top of the ability to get the jab from doctors and pharmacies in each town.”

Ms D’Ath said the more Queenslanders who are vaccinated, the less the impact will be on our health system.

“This virus will go into every single community once Queensland opens up,” Ms D’Ath said.

“The question is who’s going to get this virus - it’s going to be those people who aren’t vaccinated.

“While we have been visiting our rural and remote regions to administer vaccinations, we know not everyone has come forward to be vaccinated yet.

“There’s absolutely no reason to delay the vaccine – COVID-19 will come to our regional communities, it’s just a matter of time for the Isaac region.

“Head along to your nearest vaccination clinic, or if your community is serviced by a vaccination outreach clinic – please make it a priority to get vaccinated when they’re next in your community.”

PARTIAL TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF CENTENARY PARK, CLERMONTIsaac Regional Council advises that due to falling branches from the flying fox colony in Centenary Park, Clermont, temporary fencing to isolate the area under the roost will be in place until further notice.

Park users will continue to enjoy safe and unimpeded access to the majority of the park area and facilities except for the spaces excluded by the temporary fencing.

The roost is away from residential backyards and split between the north western corner (corner of Drummond Street and Capricorn street) and in the trees on the south bank of Hoods Lagoon (corner of Capella and Lime streets).

Council will continue to monitor the flying fox roost and will provide the community with updates once a course of action is established. Alternative access is available since majority of the park, including the shade structure and toilets, is unaffected by this temporary closure.

Residents are reminded that it is against the law to harm or disturb a flying fox roost, and unplanned and unauthorised actions can impact on you, your neighbours and your community.

Flying fox management needs to be undertaken in accordance with the Queensland Government’s Department of Environment and Science (DES) guidelines and codes of practice. Visit https://environment.des.qld.gov.au/wildlife/animals/living-with/bats/flying-foxes/roost-management#management_of_flying_fox_roosts for more information.

Council thanks residents for their understanding and apologises for any inconvenience caused.

For more information visit https://www.isaac.qld.gov.au/flying-foxes or call Council’s Customer Service Centre available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on 1300 ISAACS (1300 472 227).

PUBLIC NOTICES2021-22 FLYING FOX SEASON UPDATE #3, ISAAC REGIONIsaac Regional Council is aware of, and is monitoring, flying foxes across the Isaac region especially in Moranbah, Clermont and Dysart. Flying foxes are protected wildlife in Queensland under the Nature Conservation Act 1992, with some species classified as endangered.

Residents are reminded that it is against the law to harm flying foxes or disturb a roost, and unplanned and unauthorised actions can impact on you, your neighbours and your community.

Flying fox management needs to be undertaken in accordance with the Queensland Government’s Department of Environment and Science (DES) guidelines and codes of practice.

Visit https://environment.des.qld.gov.au/wildlife/animals/living-with/bats/flying-foxes/roost-management#management_of_flying_fox_roosts for more information.

CLERMONTA Little Red Flying Fox colony has established in Clermont as part of their yearly migration. The roost is on the north western corner (Ivan Bettridge Park) and south bank (Centenary Park) of Hoods Lagoon, away from residential backyards. Council is regularly monitoring the roost and has taken steps to minimise disturbance to delay the colony moving to the historical roost at Centenary Park or potentially into resident’s yards. Park users will continue to enjoy safe and unimpeded access to the majority of the park area and facilities except for the spaces excluded by the temporary fencing.

PREVENTATIVE MEASURESCouncil officers have provided advice on flying fox colonies and the benefits of conducting

preventative measures with impacted residents. Trees with large dense canopies are attractive to flying foxes. Trimming or removing trees such as mangos, figs and Poinciana trees will help to avoid flying foxes being attracted to your property. However, flying foxes may establish a roost in any tree particularly those with a large dense canopy.

STATEMENT OF MANAGEMENT INTENTCouncil has adopted a Statement of Management Intent to guide its management of flying foxes in the Isaac region. Since its adoption, Council has saved ratepayers over $750,000 in costs associated with management of flying fox roosts. Dispersal activities have no guarantee of success, and potentially spread flying foxes over a larger area or shift roosts from public lands into private backyards. Vegetation management activities of roost trees are capped at 10 per cent of the tree canopy, per annum, in accordance with the DES Code of Practice for low impact activities affecting flying-fox roosts.

MIGRATION ACTIVITIESFlying foxes migrate into the Isaac region townships each year which is a part of its greater yearly migration across eastern Australia. It’s important to note that Australian flying foxes DO NOT carry COVID-19 following several enquiries made to Council this season.

For more information visit https://www.isaac.qld.gov.au/flying-foxes or call Council’s Customer Service Centre available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on 1300 ISAACS (1300 472 227), or the Department of Environment and Science on 13 QGOV (13 74 62).

IT’S A THRILLER TO READ!Halloween – it’s the spookiest night of the year. Halloween is celebrated in America and several other countries on 31 October every year.

Halloween is a time to dress up in costumes and go trick-or-treating, carve a jack-o-lantern out of a pumpkin and decorate the home or business with spiders, spiderwebs, skeletons or black cats.

If you’re not keen on dressing up and going trick-or-treating, you may like to get into the Halloween spirit by reading a thriller or horror novel or a book about ghosts and spirits. Have a monster reading marathon with the kids and read picture books about Halloween, monsters, ghosts, haunted houses, spiders, witches and black cats.

But it was home to the former Governor of Dartmoor Prison. Following the Governor’s death, his estranged children are set to inherit his estate. The Governor’s family come to stay at Allhallows Hall but not for long,

The family decides to leave Allhallows Hall for good but young Timmy disappears – from inside the house.Doctor Sleep by Stephen King – A tribe of people called The True Knot travel American highways in search of sustenance. They look harmless but they live off the ‘steam’ that the children with the ‘shining’ produce. Dan Torrance had a haunted childhood and after drifting for decades, settles into a job where his remnant ‘shining’ power brings comfort to the dying. When Dan meets Abra Stone, her

‘shining’ powers reignites Dan’s demons and summons him into a battle for Abra’s soul and survival.Odd Interlude by Dean Koontz – This book is part of King’s Odd Thomas series. Odd Thomas and Annamaria need a break from the road and Harmony Corner, a quaint roadside outpost, looks welcoming. It has a cosy diner, a service station and a cluster of motel rooms for weary travellers but Odd has a bad feeling about the place……
