  • New drive-in theatre set for North Ipswich and owners of unregistered dogs put on notice
    It is back to the future after a council committee gave the green light to a recommendation for a new two screen drive-in movie theatre at North Ipswich – more than 50 years after the first Ipswich drive-in opened at Raceview. Jacko from the Lost Ipswich Facebook group joins Ipswich Today to reminisce about drive-ins, and Ipswich City Council renews its door-to-door dog registration inspections program after finding an average 13.7 per cent of dogs are not registered.

  • This week in state parliament with Jennifer Howard and what is going on with council's website?
    What is the future for 600 ex-workers from JBS Dinmore, MPs oppose waste to energy plant proposal, and from this week in state parliament: Wage theft is now a crime, new technology and tougher laws to crack down on hoons, the Torres Strait Islander Child Rearing Practices Bill passed into law and good news for craft brewers and distillers in what was also the final sitting week before the state election next month. And a very odd thing just happened to Ipswich City Council’s website making it more difficult to find council meeting agendas and minutes.
