Community Day last Thursday brought together everyone from juniors to seniors, and a few firemen, to enjoy the formal re-opening of the community facilities at TYTO. There was story time and robotics, along with computer classes and colouring. The cake was cut and councillors and community alike enjoyed the sweetness of jovial conversations among the stacks of the beloved library.

In a heartening reminder of the value of rural health care, the Ingham Health Service recently celebrated nine years since the reopening of its maternity service — and what better way to mark the occasion than with the birth of four babies in just 24 hours? On the 7th and 8th of April, four mothers; Giorgia Firmi, Marites Carao, Hannah Bestmann, and Leah Dingwell, welcomed their little ones into the world, creating a unique bond not only between their babies, but among themselves as part of thi

An elusive and endangered species, the mahogany glider is receiving new hope thanks to a collaborative conservation effort underway in North Queensland. The project, centred south of Ingham, is helping to link critical glider habitat while also delivering rare sightings of the species in the wild. Indigenous ranger Chris Muriata is one of the few people lucky enough to see a mahogany glider in its natural habitat. “To finally see one – it made me happy,” he says. “It was in vegetation at the

Read the full storyThis week is the final chance for the business community to complete their preparation for the end-of-financial-year planning. End of financial year is always a busy time for reflection on the year to date, reviewing how the business is tracking and working with your financial professionals to plan for how to best move the business forward.
In light of the very challenging start to this calendar year and backing up from two already difficult years in the agricultural sector, this planning process may be more crucial to many business owners this year than it historically has been for some time.
An important part of managing any size business operations is the constant review of all operations, from consumer demand and stock levels to economic trends, marketing strategies and budget considerations. Chamber encourages all businesses, regardless of their size, to put some time aside to prioritise this review process in their business at this time of year and to seek the guidance of their financial professionals to support owners to achieve the best business outcomes moving into the end of the financial year.
Last Saturday saw Chamber host the June Markets at the Mosaic in the Ingham CBD. This event was again exceptionally well attended, both by stallholders and the general public, both from locals and visitors. Surveys conducted on the day again record that more than 35% of visitors to the markets came from postcodes outside of 4850 and included state, national and international visitors.
With more stallholders than ever this month, the popularity of the markets continues to grow, with feedback reporting visitors are making a day trip or weekend visit to the shire to enjoy all that is on offer locally. Chamber continues to survey stallholders, visitors and the broader retail community to understand the impact of the markets, what is being done well and where there is room for improvement, as we constantly strive to deliver a product that will not only support businesses but will also bring visitation to the Shire.
