March 31, 2022 Local business success story: How the desire for healthy dog treats led to inmates becoming bakers
One local business you may not have heard of until now is Golden Bone Bakery, a manufacturer of heathy doggie treats made in Ipswich. It started with an idea about six years ago with the first batch of treats made in a home kitchen. This is the story of Katharina von Heusinger and partner Reiner who noticed an increasing amount of flatulence from their dog Jett which they attributed to mass manufactured doggie treats. From this came the idea to make their own 100 per cent natural dog treats and the Golden Bone Bakery was born.

March 15, 2022 Council finally announces new operator for the Commonwealth Hotel in Ipswich CBD
After more than seven years of waiting Ipswich City Council announced a new operator of the Commonwealth Hotel at an extraordinary (or special) meeting on Thursday 10 March 2022. This meeting followed the regular round of committee meetings. In a statement issued later mayor Teresa Harding said the hotel would act as an anchor tenant for the Nicholas Street Precinct. Ipswich Central Redevelopment Committee chairperson Cr Marnie Doyle said while the Commonwealth Hotel had been meticulously restored to maintain its heritage façade, the forthcoming extension of the hotel will transform the site into a state-of-the-art dining and entertainment hub. Also in this episode you will hear how council came to own the hotel and preserving heritage does not come cheap.
