Deputy Mayor Kahn Goodluck said it was great to see Miriam Vale Plant Hire come out at the top. It is a credit to Miriam Vale Plant Hire and also a credit to our local content policy doing its job, he said. The Gladstone Regional Council voted unanimously to award Miriam Vale Plant Hire the contract for improvements to Blackman s Gap Rd. While there was other fantastic local businesses, it is really good to see a Miriam Vale company getting a job in Miram Vale. Cr Desley O Grady said she backed Cr Goodluck s comments and said she had travelled that road a number of times lately.

Subscriber only A man who chose to drive home from a rural pub in the Gladstone region faced court on Monday on a drink-driving charge. William John Chappell, 51, pleaded guilty in Gladstone Magistrates Court to the offence. Police prosecutor Carl Spargo read the facts of Chappell s case to the court and Acting Magistrate John Milburn. On January 25 this year, at 7.05pm, police from Tannum Sands were tasked with intercepting a vehicle driving erratically on the Bruce Highway at Bororen. When Tannum police arrived, Miram Vale police had already intercepted Chappell for a breath and saliva test. Prior to testing Chappell, police noted the smell of liquor on his breath, slurred speech and bloodshot eyes.
