    About 30 Burdekin Tourism Association volunteers were officially thanked for the time they put in to help visitors and promote the region this morning.

    Burdekin Shire Council Mayor Bill Lowis said volunteers were the backbone of many organisations in the Burdekin.

    “The theme for National Volunteer Week 2012 is Volunteers – Every One Counts and this sends a strong message to existing volunteers that they are valued,” he said during the morning tea at Pantry Door.

    “Thank you to each and every one of you that volunteer for the Burdekin Tourism Association. Your dedication and commitment in providing visitor information services in Ayr and Home Hill is greatly appreciated.”

    Cr Lowis said some volunteers went out of their way to help stranded tourists during the floods earlier in the year.

    “I know there were a few residents who took in backpackers who were stranded in the Burdekin during the floods,” he said.

    “These people went out of their way to help our young visitors, many who were living in their cars, by offering them a place to sleep.

    “I am aware that these residents have since received letters of thanks from their guests.

    “It is this sort of welcoming attitude that is drawing backpackers to the Burdekin from the world over.”

    One of those who opened their homes to stranded backpackers was Burdekin Tourism Association president Ross Gambino.

    Mr Gambino also thanked the volunteers for their time and dedication.

    “Without our volunteers, there would be no one to guide tourists around the Shire,” he said.

    Nationwide, volunteers contribute more than 700 million hours of community service in health care, heritage and arts, environment conservation, emergency services, education, social justice and sports.

    A power failure left residents in Ayr and Brandon without water for approximately 40 minutes this morning.

    Burdekin Shire Council Operations Manager Wayne Saldumbide said a power failure at Nelsons Lagoon pumping station and the concurrent failure of a high lift duty pump at the South Ayr Water Treatment Plant had interrupted water supply to the towns.

    “The initial outage was a power failure at the Nelsons Lagoon pumping station, which supplies water to the Ayr Water Tower, at 9.15am,” he said.

    “Once the water level at the Ayr water tower drops to a certain level, the telemetry system calls for additional supply from South Ayr Treatment Plant, but the South Ayr pump did not respond, resulting in loss of supply.

    “Supply was restored back to the towns by 9.55am.”

    Mr Saldumbide apologised for any inconvenience caused by the loss of water supply.

    “We are investigating each element of the system that contributed to the loss of supply and will be implementing additional measures to avoid any similar failure in the future,” he said.

    Brandon residents will be next to see a difference in their water supply when the water main and residential mains are cleaned next month.

    Burdekin Shire Council Operations Manager Wayne Saldumbide said the 300mm diameter trunk main to Brandon would be scoured on June 27 and then the AirScour team would start cleaning the Brandon residential mains.

    “The AirScour equipment being used to clean the distribution and reticulation mains is delivering encouraging results,” he said.

     “We have completed the South Ayr area and are currently working in an area bounded by Railway, Mackenzie, Lynch and Queen streets and the feedback we are getting is that there is a difference in the water quality.

    “We have noticed a drop in the number of complaints about dirty water since the program started.”

    Mr Saldumbide said residents and businesses would receive notification in their letterbox a week prior to scouring work being done on water pipes in their street.

     “Any blocks that have businesses in them will be done on Sundays to minimise water interruption and loss of trade,” he said.

    The water supply will be disconnected at each household meter in the section being treated to ensure no deposits from the scouring process enter household supply.

    Scouring works will be conducted between 8.45am and 3.30pm to avoid disruption to working people and parents with school-aged children.

    The nation’s spotlight was focussed on the Burdekin this morning as Tour De Cure participant and Sunrise sport reporter Mark Beretta broadcast live from Ayr.

    Schoolchildren from across the Burdekin converged on St Francis Primary School in Ayr this morning to take part in the event and to see the riders head north to Townsville.

    Burdekin Shire Council Mayor Bill Lowis said he was pleased to see so many people turn out in support of the Tour De Cure riders.

    “These riders are riding to raise funds to find a cure for cancer – a disease that has touched many families in the Burdekin,” he said.

    “It’s great to see the Burdekin supporting the cause. There was a good turnout of people at the dinner last night (Thursday) and there are schoolchildren from across the shire here this morning (Friday).

    “Having Sunrise’s Mark Beretta crossing live to do his sport reports from the school has enabled the nation to catch a glimpse of the Burdekin.”

    Cr Lowis said the morning event at St Francis Primary School had been well supported by the community.

    “We had the PCYC doing a sausage sizzle and all the fruit on offer at the breakfast was donated to the school by local growers,” he said.

    The Tour De Cure riders have raised a record-breaking $2 million since they left Brisbane on May 3.

    The aim of the Tour De Cure is to raise awareness and funds to find a cure for cancer and also share the cancer prevention message with 5000 children in Queensland. The Tour consists of 75 riders and support crew.

    The riders travel north to Townsville today, stopping over on Magnetic Island, before finishing their ride in Mission beach on Sunday, May 13.

  • Mayor disappointed with lack of Bruce Highway funding

    The failure of the Federal Government to allocate any funding to the Bruce Highway is disappointing to say the least, according to Burdekin Shire Council Mayor Bill Lowis.

    Cr Lowis said it was disheartening that the Federal Government failed to acknowledge the importance of the Bruce Highway to North Queensland.

    “The Bruce Highway is the lifeline of the North and when it rains there are a number of locations within the Burdekin Shire that flood,” he said.

    “Yellow Gin Creek to the south of Home Hill regularly floods and the Haughton River Bridge is well overdue for replacement.

    “Rain events stop the trucks that deliver our food and other essential items as well as leaving travellers stranded.

    “I am disappointed that the Federal Government has failed to acknowledge just how important the highway is to the people of the Burdekin.

    “It is essential to our way of life and for our businesses.”

    The Bruce Highway is a state-controlled road, but is 80 per cent funded by the Federal Government.

    The Mayor said only highlight in the Federal Budget for the Burdekin was the continued funding of the Sugar Research and Development Corporation research.

    “The SRDC will continue to invest in the integration of sugar cane, grains, grain legumes and cotton in sustainable irrigated cropping systems in the Burdekin,” Cr Lowis said.

    “This will provide research which will allow our farmers to make informed decisions about possible rotation crops.”

    Landholders are being urged to contact the Burdekin Shire Council if they find waterways are congested with weed.

    Chief Executive Officer Ken Holt said the recent wet season had boosted the growth of water weeds and urged landholders to contact council to enable clearing to commence.

    “The Council is reliant on landholders informing us when waterways are getting overgrown with weed,” he said.

    “Workers harvest the weed by boat initially as it is more practical and cost effective than the weed harvester.

    “The weed harvester is still available and used when required, but there are limits to where it can be used.”

    Mr Holt said the weed harvester was loaned to other entities, such as the water boards and other councils, when it was not required in the Burdekin.

    “Most recently it was loaned to Richmond Shire Council where it was used to clear the waterways for the Dirt and Dust Festival,” he said.

    “Council will respond to customer requests for clearing work to be done, but to date there have been none logged with our Customer Service Centre.”

    Landholders who require waterways to be cleared should contact the Customer Service Centre on 07 4783 9800.
