Topics
Dog off-leash area consultation in Pittsworth
Park Strategy officers met with Pittsworth residents and interested parties about possible locations and community involvement in selecting a future dog off-leash area. The meeting followed a community petition.
The location and design of a future off-leash area remain under consideration, with further community consultation expected.
Walking access around key destinations

This shapes where future footpath and walking connection improvements may be planned.
People First Bank branch closure response
Council reported that People First Bank advised a co-location trial of bank staff in Council facilities at Millmerran, Oakey and Pittsworth could not proceed because suitable premises and security requirements could not be met. The CEO will continue discussions on other collaboration options.
Residents in towns affected by branch closures should not expect an immediate replacement banking service through Council facilities.
