It is always lovely when it rains in our Shire but did you know it is often when unnecessary damage to roads occurs?
While the upkeep and maintenance of roads is Council’s responsibility, you can assist by staying off unsealed roads for at least 48 hours after rain. The damage that occurs by driving on wet roads lasts for many months until Council contractors or staff can work on the road.
By staying home, we can keep the roads in good condition, potentially not cause damage to your vehicle, and potentially not have the embarrassment of getting badly bogged.
Council formally closes the roads after reasonable rainfall and as such if you drive on the road you are breaking the law!
Good Morning All, ☀️ A Road Report has been issued for Wednesday 12 August 2020 @ 7:45AM
Roads controlled within the Quilpie Shire are to the shire boundary.

Last bushfire season was one of the worst ever, destroying homes and disrupting lives. Are you prepared for this season? Create a bushfire survival plan so you and your loved ones are prepared if bushfires strike. It only takes a few minutes. Share your bushfire survival plan with family and friends so everyone knows what actions to take. There are simple steps you can take to prepare, like clearing gutters, reducing vegetation around your home and ensuring there is adequate access to your property. During bushfire season, it’s important to know what’s going on in your area. Even if you don’t live anywhere near bushland, bushfires can affect you while you’re on holidays or travelling.
Make sure you tune into warnings, local media and QFES social media.

Through the Love of Learning program, volunteers called ‘Pyjama Angels’ are recruited, screened, trained and then matched with a child in care and spend time with them once a week, focusing on learning-based activities.
Pyjama Angels read books aloud with their child, play educational games and help children with their homework. Most importantly, the volunteers give foster children a chance to reach their life potential, despite a fragile start. Children in care have the lowest education outcomes nationally.
By improving their learning skills, The Pyjama Foundation is making a positive, life-long impact.Whether they want to grow up to be an astronaut or a doctor,
The Pyjama Foundation is there to help them reach their full potential by assisting them with their learning, and by providing consistent love and support.
With a little confidence and encouragement, who knows what they can achieve?
