Linking East Coraki

Name: Alison Scurr

All our towns have walkways and cycleways linking their communities. Evans Head have one all the way from Doonbah Riverside Village. Casino have one linking the Sextonville Rd area. Coraki need a link for the community in Oakland Rd to walk and cycle safely to town.

East Coraki path

Name: Alison Scurr

The community living across the East Coraki bridge need a walking/cycle path to get safely into town. There are a lot of locals that walk and ride into Coraki from Oakland Road and along the way. It is unsafe to do so. My grandchildren walk this way after school and to work in town.

Parks

Name: Erick

All the parks and gardens need more regular attention. And the riverside road is an eyesore and needs restoring or should be completely demolished.

Bats

Name: Petra

We really need to move the bats out of the public areas. I realise they are protected buy they can be safely encouraged to move out of town. Many Australian towns have done this successfully.

Rubbish Bins

Name: Petra Duncan-Czizek

We need indestructible rubbish bins around the parks, courts, rail trail and walkways. In many areas there are no bins.

Art in Town

Name: Ruby

I would really like to see more art installations happen throughout town! I think it would make the place more beautiful and promote the collective. Similar "Lanescapes" in Goondiwindi, it also attracts tourists

Large fenced off leash dog area

Name: Heidi

Large fenced off leash dog area. QE2 back area by the fenced cricket pitch. Incorporate trees for the shade and seating. There is plenty of parking and ease of access. Where the area is at the present time is too hot and small.

Either hard rubbish pick up 2x annually or 2x vouchers for rate payers for dump runs.

Curbside collection / vouchers

Add necessary positions and audit departments and cut wastewaste

Name: David Loker

Do a complete audit assessment of council spending and determine if it is/was necessary. Make this audit and findings public for all to see. Add a full time person who attends only to parking and situations which occur on our streets, sidewalks and parking areas to issue fines accordingly.

Tip Incentives

Name: Shannon

Give rate payers some incentives to help reduce large househole items of garbage being placed into the red bins and green with Vouchers and or Collection days like other councils. There is no incentive or motivation on RVC at present at all for rate payers. People clean up their yard and jobs.

Curb side pick up

Name: Julie

I really think the council should bring back the curb side pickup it would make it easier to clean up around the house and yard Most other councils have it so I can’t see why we at Casino and surrounding area so come on council bring it back

Tiny Home

Name: Dee

I would like to see an area set aside where a Tiny Home village could be developed. Maybe the land leased for a reasonable fee where the homes can be parked. A standard of structure could be required of those wishing to put their homes on the site.

Love our beaches

Name: Catherine Saffin

Protect airforce beach stop 4x4 vehicles keep the beach safe for community and protect the environment

Rubbish relief

Name: Tanya

Either once a year a truck comes around and picks up 1-2 cubic mtr of rubbish for no cost, this could be done during quieter times like winter, or give 2 voucher a year for rate payers to use the tip for free. This will reduce illegal dumping promoting beautiful town.

Homeless people

Name: Peter

Please consider the ever growing number of homeless people. Pls build several rest areas where people can camp for a small fee. Please ensure all showgrounds and caravan parks welcome homeless people. Remember they too spend money on the towns.

Stadium Improvements

Name: Cindy Richards
