🐝The Crosby Road Bushcare Group working bee will be this Saturday 28th November from 8am. 🐝
If you can offer a few hours of your time it would be very much appreciated.
Meet at the Crosby Road steps. Please wear appropriate clothing and footwear, bring gloves, a water bottle and wear a hat and sunscreen.
There will be the usual clean up and weeding, and will also have a delivery of soil which needs to be spread out around the bottom of the steps - so the group can plant natives in a few months time

To assist in driving suburban economic vitality, Council is helping businesses and property owners to upgrade their shopfronts via a matched grant program. Funding will cover up to 50% of the cost of visual improvements to a suburban shopfront exterior, to a maximum of $5,000. The balance of the costs for the shopfront improvement (remaining 50%) would then be met by the applicant. Applications for the Suburban Shopfront Improvement Grant are currently open and will remain open until 11:59pm on Wednesday 23 December 2020.

Thank you for your messages, nothing is changing about Newstead's Waterfront Park Dog Off-Leash Area (DOLA) Trial yet, however, community consultation will begin shortly and everyone that visits the DOLA will get to have their say to determine the future of this area. Keep an eye-out at Waterfront Park for more information about Community Consultation.
I’m wondering why there is a consideration to remove the Newstead off leash dog area?
Hi Cr McLachlan, can you please advise when the plans for Newstead dog park will be made available for public consultation? The off leash area is a much loved space and a popular place for local people and dogs to meet - there are a great many of your constituents who would like a say in this decision.

Brisbane has earned its reputation as a dog-friendly city, with nearly 40% of Brisbane homes now owning a four-legged family member - up 10% over the past year.
However, with just 50% of dogs registered with Brisbane City Council, we’re rolling out new designer dog tags to encourage responsible pet ownership and to help reunite owners and their four-legged friends quickly if they’re ever separated.
The tags will be available from mid-december but for more information in the meantime you can visit www.brisbane.qld.gov.au/laws-and-permits/laws-and-permits-for-residents/animals-and-pets/cats-and... ... See MoreSee Less
