Mayor Joyce McCulloch is inviting all local seniors to attend this year’s free Seniors’ Christmas Lunch event to celebrate the festive season with delicious food, great company and delightful entertainment.

Local primary and high school students will get a special opportunity to meet, create artworks with and be mentored by renowned young female Indigenous artist Chern’ee Sutton, who originally hails from Mount Isa and whose paintings have been exhibited around the world.

Opportunities and potential abound for a former shop on Miles Street and Council is open to suggestions from members of the public as to what they would like to see there.

Mount Isans are being encouraged to nominate a deserving local unsung hero for Council’s 2020 Australia Day Awards, with nominations open now.
