At Chances House we’re currently supporting a growing number of individuals in our community who are experiencing homelessness. To continue providing practical assistance & a bit of hope, we’re seeking donations of essential items such as:

Baked beans
Spaghetti
Cereal (we have lots of Weetabix & cornflakes)
Cordial
Chunky soups
Coffee
Wet/Dry Cat Food

Your generosity, whether through a product donation or financial support, can make a meaningful difference to those facing hardship right now.

Every contribution—big or small—helps 💙

💧 WATER CONSERVATION MEASURES LIFTED

Council has this morning lifted the 'conserve water' advice which had been in place as part of the recovery from Tropical Cyclone Koji.

The 'Do Not Consume' advice remains in place for Pinnacle and Gargett. Water testing locally shows supplies are clear, however final approval and clearance needs to be obtained from Queensland Health. That is expected later today.

Until that approval is received, the 'Do Not Consume' advice remains in place. The water trailer is still located at the Gargett Store for any residents needing drinking water supplies. It will be removed once the water supply is reinstated.

EARLIER
‼️Residents are encouraged to only use water for essential purposes over the next few days to conserve what is in the reservoir while water treatment plants are working harder than usual.

🌧️Heavy rain and river flooding have swept high volumes of debris into the raw water catchment, making the usual demand for drinking water more difficult to meet.

We are working closely with Queensland Health to monitor the situation and ensure drinking water continues to be of the highest quality. 💦

Key areas affected:
- Mackay township
- Northern Beaches
- Sarina township and Sarina Beaches
- Walkerston township
- Farleigh
- The Leap
- Seaforth
- Ball Bay
- Halliday Bay

Please avoid non-essential water use, such as washing vehicles, watering gardens or washing driveways, for the next few days 👍
