Flying Foxes and Bats
Name: Erick
I would appreciate if this council would make a concerted effort to relocate these vermin from the middle of town. They are a disgrace and an embarrassment to our beautiful town. Residents are appalled. To close the parks due to bat roosting surely indicates this health hazard.
Bin Collection
Name: Petra
After reading a recent Facebook post about the misuse of the FOGO bins how about making the red bin a weekly collection. I can imagine it fills up quickly for families.
General Waste Collection
Name: Wendy Payne
I would like to see General Waste collected weekly as opposed to fortnightly & have Green Waste & Recyling Waste collected fortnightly ain alternate weeks. General Waste becomes smelly & attracts flies & vermin & the current fortnightly collection is not adequate - particularly in Summer. Thanks.
FIX THE ROADS
Name: Judy Whitfield
Fix the Broadwater Evans road. IT IS A DISGRACE and has caused so many accidents. Putting up signs saying ROADWORKS IN PROGRESS is paying lip service to people in Evans. There HAS NOT BEEN ANY ROADWORK since I moved to Evans 18/4/24 fix the street that runs down to the surf club. An UTTER DISGRACE
Love our parks
Name: Cathie
The lovely park on the river next to the fish co-op needs some love some tree planting and a seperate parking area to keep vehicles from driving over the grass and destroying it and becoming a big sand pit.
Sand dune regeneration
Name: Paul
There are walkways through the dunes either side of the Evans head surf club that are overgrown and hazardous to walk through. The bitou bush in front of the wooden look out in the car park on the north side of the surf club is obsolete as you cannot see the water over the overgrown bitou bush.
Regular mowing and cleaning drains
Name: Tim
Walking around woodburn each day is dismal with houses fenced up, overgrown verges and messy drains. Looks like a derelict town
Woodburn kids
Name: Eleesha hughes
With all the new young families in Woodburn we need a decent park that includes everyone especially with disabilities. New skate park with local art from the kids . Water splash park or remote control track . There is nothing safe that’s not on a main rd for these kids . Basketball courts .
Replace Hedge with sandstone blocks Richmond tce Coraki
Name: Dianne Judith Steel
Replace existing hedge with sandstone blocks. Pros, less ongoing maintenance costs for council. opens up riverbank, more open possibly deter random break ins of caravan visitors. Hedge often poorly maintained with weeds etc . More visually appealing to have continuity of blocks down whole street
Footpaths in Woodburn
Name: James
Footpaths around Woodburn for safe exercise, kids to ride bikes etc
Cycleway Riley’s Hill to Broadwater
Name: Tracey Knox
I’d like to see the road from Riley’s Hill to Broadwater with a Cycleway/ walking track. People often walk along the side of the road but , because the grass is not cut regularly, they are forced to walk on the road itself , and it’s dangerous.
Native seed bank
Name: Leash
Include native seeds within the library seed bank to encourage people to sow and grow native plants to the area. Especially for the harder to find seeds that Council may have stock for their landscaping - For example, heath plants would be perfect for Surburban gardens.
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.
Rubbish Relief
Name: Joanne Mason
Either hard rubbish pick up 2x annually or 2x vouchers for rate payers for dump runs.
Protect the Beaches
Name: Simon Cook

Curbside collection / vouchers
Name: Melitta Armstrong
RVC to implement free curbside collections for residents and or vouchers.
Respectful naming
Name: Catherine Saffin
Changing the name of chinamens beach, maybe a name that recognises the Bundjalung county
Footpaths
Name: Amanda
How about some footpaths in Woodburn That would be great
Tip vouchers
Name: Kylie Bruntflett
We need a couple of rubbish tip vouchers or discounts per year for residents.
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
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.
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
Improvements to the Casino Sports Stadium that would enhance the experience for both spectators and sporting groups. The stadium is a fantastic facility, it could better serve the community and local sporting associations with grandstand seating, industrial fans, storage space, mini kitchen.

Community newspaper

My dad and I cross over the Evans river bridge every day we see pelicans there every day perched on the light poles. I don’t know if this bridge has a name but I would like someone to call it. PELICAN BRIDGE I would love you to put a sign up calling this bridge pelican Bridge. Thanks Lucas
