Threat of rain fails to dampen Anzac spirit
There was plenty of famous Anzac Day spirit on show at services and marches throughout our region, despite the threat of wet weather.
 
There were 25 services to choose from in our region, including the main Mackay Anzac Day parade to Jubilee Park.

Step out in
city locations

We’re encouraging residents to step up, step out and use foot-power on their lunch breaks or while running errands around the City Centre.
 
This latest stage of the 10,000 Steps campaign has seen us oversee the installation of 46 new 10,000 Steps directional signs in 19 locations.

Having a ball with sporting larrikins

Imagine a backyard barbecue with 15 mates, sporting larrikins Alfie (Allan) Langer and Jimmy Maher and the beer they’ll bring with them.
 
That is just one of the sought-after items certain to attract some spirited bidding during the charity auction at next month’s Mackay Mayor’s Charity Ball.

Memorial and Pioneer swim centres, as well as Bluewater Lagoon, have been earmarked for detailed maintenance schedules. Pioneer will also be fitted with a heating system over the closure.

Big plans for
