February 7, 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Australia Day weekend floods have provided the perfect opportunity for some local residents to help clean up their act … quite literally.<\/p>\n

The Kingaroy Probation and Parole Office has been assigning people ordered by the courts to complete community service to help with the big clean-up.<\/p>\n

Three community workers were lending a hand at the RSPCA Shelter near Kingaroy Airport today, clearing soaked rubbish from sheds, sweeping out sand and silt, and trying to sort out what could be salvaged from rubbish.<\/p>\n

Water entered two of the RSPCA’s storage sheds and a shipping container during the rain, destroying stored pet food and soaking archived records.<\/p>\n

Electrical equipment including fans stored in the sheds were also damaged.<\/p>\n

Fortunately all the Shelter’s animals were high and dry, out of harm’s way.<\/p>\n

Shelter manager Sally Charles told southburnett.com.au<\/strong> today the three community service workers she had been assigned had been a great help.<\/p>\n

They had cleaned out the sheds, tidied the area and filled a big skip bin with rubbish.<\/p>\n

Probation and Parole District Manager Jathan Fischer said 10 men had assigned to various clean-up projects around Kingaroy.<\/p>\n

They had helped at the Town Hall evacuation centre as well as at the Salvation Army store which had suffered some flood damage.<\/p>\n

Overall, Kingaroy Probation and Parole have 101 people on their books, 58 completing community service, 33 working off fine option orders and 10 serving intensive correction orders.<\/p>\n

Mr Fischer said that since July 1, 2012, the workers had completed a total of 2449 hours of service in the local community with an estimated value of $53,878.<\/p>\n

Not-for-profit community groups who are interested in partnering with Queensland Corrective Services on projects should contact Kingaroy Probation and Parole Office on (07) 4164-0210.<\/p>\n
