It looked beautiful. I also met a couple of characters who needed some light refreshments at this busy time of year. #councilloralisonjones

10.01.2022 It’s marine turtle nesting season! The nesting season runs from mid-October to January, and hatchlings generally emerge from December to the end of March. We spotted these tracks last week at Blacks Beach. ... Most of our local sandy beaches are potential nesting areas for flatback and green marine turtles. If you see a female turtle crossing the beach or digging a nest, do not approach it, make loud noises or shine bright lights as they are easily disturbed and may return to the water without laying any eggs. If you see turtle tracks, nesting or hatching activity, please contact Mackay & District Turtle Watch on 4954 9613 Did you know? Flatback turtles are the most common marine turtle on our beaches. Flatbacks can lay every two to three years. They lay about three to four clutches of 50 eggs (the size of a billiard ball). Green marine turtles occasionally lay on our local beaches, mainly island beaches. Greens turtles can lay every three to seven years. They can lay up to five clutches of 120 eggs (the size of a ping pong ball). #councilloralisonjones
10.01.2022 After a tough year, there has never been a better time to recognise someone who goes above and beyond for our community. Rather than giving up on their goals or community projects, some truly inspirational people stepped up, worked harder than ever and found innovative ways to overcome social distancing restrictions - it’s time those people were recognised for their efforts. There are eight award categories including: Citizen of the Year, Young Citizen of the Year, Arts and ...Culture, Environmental Achievement, Lori Burgess Community Volunteer, Community Group, Senior Sports and Young Sports Award. The nomination can take as little as five minutes. The awards pay tribute to individuals and groups who have made significant contributions to their local community and/or achieved exceptional results in sporting, or cultural endeavours. If you know a volunteer who goes above and beyond for their community, let them know you appreciate their hard work. If there is a local sports person who has achieved exceptional results, recognise them for their achievements. Or, if you know a passionate environmentalist or budding performer who lights up the stage, show them that you are proud of them by nominating them for an Australia Day Award. To nominate someone for an Australia Day Award visit council’s website www.mackay.qld.gov.au/australiaday or return a hardcopy version of the form to one of council’s Client Service Centres. Nominations close January 6, 2021 #councilloralisonjones

08.01.2022 Council recently installed a very special commemorative artwork at the Memorial Swim Centre.

A small gathering took place this afternoon on Remembrance Day for Marie to view the artwork on display . Mayor Greg Williamson and councillors ...also attended to congratulate Marie on her amazing work. Well done Marie and everyone who contributed to the project.
