The Clermont Telegraph

As the first truly local and independent newspaper in 40 years, Clermont Community and Business Group (CCBG) is pleased to support this project to provide a communications platform for all our local voices to be heard, enjoyed, challenged and recorded for future generations to know the story of our community.

As a genuine community-backed and supported publication with local contributors welcome from all ages and walks of life, CCBG aims to provide a central place for interesting and relevant news for our community and to allow a lively but respectful exchange of ideas and opinions. Local, State and Federal elected representatives will also be welcome!

CCBG president and editor of our new paper, Carolyn Franzmann will collate a range of topics including Letters to the Editor, local news from sporting clubs, schools and community groups, reflections from local identities, historical articles, farming and mining industry news, health and wellbeing info, arts and culture, cooking and gardening tips, local business advertising and profiles, reports on local events and exciting finds from the local goldfields.

The Clermont Telegraph will be available the first week of every month as a FREE print and online editions from local business Clermont News, with some special deliveries to our senior community members.

CCBG invites the community to join as business, individual and NFP members to help the project be financially sustainable.
