Cloncurry Shire Council, Media Release, 22 March 2021
At the November 2020 Council meeting, following the presentation of the 2020-21 Plant Replacement Report, Cloncurry Councillors voted to purchase a new grader. In partnership with Hastings Deering, part of the machine was painted blue to help raise awareness for men’s mental health.
Mayor Greg Campbell said, “It’s great to be able to show our outdoor workers, who are the backbone of this Council, that we value their mental health. Although the colour blue is connected to men’s health, this is to raise awareness for both men, women and people from all walks of life.”
The grader will be used to further improve Cloncurry’s local road network.
