💧 More water for a growing Mackay

Today, Deputy Premier and Minister for State Development, Infrastructure and Planning Jarrod Bleijie visited the Nebo Road Water Treatment Plant to announce $12.1 million in State Government funding for major upgrades that will help meet the needs of Mackay's growing community and unlock more than 6350 future homes.

So what does that mean for residents?

Right now, the treatment plant is nearing capacity. These upgrades will increase the amount of water it can treat from around 55 million litres a day to almost 80 million litres a day, helping ensure Mackay has enough safe, reliable drinking water well into the future.

The funding will deliver:
✅ Upgrades to the plant's pump station to improve reliability and reduce the risk of interruptions.
✅ Modern treatment technology to improve water quality and increase capacity.
✅ Greater resilience during wet weather and extreme weather events.

🤔 Think Australia Day Awards are only for people who make headlines? Think again.

💙 They might be the person who volunteers every Saturday.
🏚️The neighbour who always checks in.
⚽ The coach who gives their time to local kids.
🤝 Or the organisation that quietly helps people when they need it most.

They could be someone like 2026 Lori Burgess Community Volunteer Award recipient Edie Weiss, who was recognised for her extraordinary 25-year commitment to Lifeline Australia and su***de prevention training through the Grapevine Group. 🏆🤗

It's the difference people make in our community that matters.

✍️ Nominate them for a 2027 Mackay Regional Council Australia Day Award – www.mackay.qld.gov.au/australiaday Nominations close November 30.

🎨 A century of service, celebrated in colour.

Last night, members of the Rotary Club of Mackay gathered to unveil the Rotary Centenary Mural at 21 Sydney Street, marking 100 years of service, leadership and community impact.

The mural tells the story of Rotary's contribution to Mackay over the past century, recognising generations of volunteers who have given their time, skills and passion to make our community a better place. From local projects and youth development programs to humanitarian efforts at home and abroad, Rotary's legacy is woven throughout the fabric of our region.

Adding a special touch to the celebration, Rotary members left their handprints on the wall, creating a lasting tribute to both past and present members as the club enters its second century of service.

If you're visiting the Mackay City Centre, take a stroll down the lane at 21 Sydney Street and check out this vibrant new addition to our public art collection. Look closely, soak up the history, and celebrate the people whose commitment to service has helped shape our community for 100 years.

📸 Be sure to stop for a photo while you're there.

Thanks to one of our pound worker's questionable claim of being a distant relative of Doctor Dolittle, we've managed to arrange a Q&A session with some of our adoptable pets.

We've kicked things off with a few questions already, but we'd love to hear yours. Leave a question in the comments under your favourite pet's profile and we'll see what our resident pet translator can uncover.
