Reporting from draft minutes. Recorded wording may change when confirmed. How this article was prepared
A petition presented by Division 2 councillor Kerri Cryer is seeking a pause to proposed lethal control of Jimbelung and immediate dingo education and conflict-prevention measures on Tamborine Mountain.
Scenic Rim Regional Council received the petition at its 28 October meeting and unanimously referred it to the chief executive officer for a report to be brought back to a future council meeting, according to the unconfirmed minutes.
The petition calls on the council to immediately pause any proposed culling or lethal control of Jimbelung and introduce an immediate targeted dingo education and conflict-prevention program on Tamborine Mountain.
The recorded referral did not itself adopt those requests, alter any control arrangements or commit funding for the proposed programme. The minutes record no decision to adopt the petition’s requested measures.
Cr Cryer moved the motion and Deputy Mayor Duncan McInnes seconded it. The referral was carried unanimously. The minutes do not specify when the report will return or what recommendations it must address.
