It’s now live, and is the place to discover more about our beautiful region, find brilliant places to stay and explore new things to see and do. 

The council holds its November Planning and Strategy Committee Meeting on Wednesday, November 14 at the Queanbeyan Council Chambers.

The meeting begins at 5.30pm and residents are welcome to attend.

Items on the agenda include a report on the management of abandoned shopping trolleys in Queanbeyan, awarding the tender for the construction of the duplication of Old Cooma Road stage 2, collaboration with the ACT Government for a smart parking app for Queanbeyan and Canberra users, consideration of the Regional Economic Development Strategy and more.

The full agenda is available on the council’s website.

The recent bushfire across the border in the ACT reminded us all of the importance of having a bush fire survival plan in place.

Our friends at the NSW RFS have some great resources available to help you develop your plan so that you are prepared when an emergency comes.

Have a discussion with your family to develop your plan and visit www.myfireplan.com.au to see if your plan will give you the best chance of survival in a bushfire.

Works are in progress to install a new play area at the Railway Park at the Henderson Road Reserve in Queanbeyan.

Railway and transport themed play equipment is being installed as part of a larger project that has included a solar powered light for the community garden and new shade sails over the outdoor exercise equipment.

This project is funded by the NSW Stronger Communities Fund.

An upgraded playing surface is being prepared at Riverside Oval in Queanbeyan, along with new fencing around the ground.

Funded by the NSW Government Stronger Country Communities Fund, this project will see the Riverside Oval brought up to a premier league standard.
