Kerbside collection resumes - updated dates March 2022
I’m pleased to announce that kerbside collection is resuming after being temporarily paused to assist in the cleanup of the floods.

Bushfire awareness workshops for residents
It’s that time of year when Queensland’s deadly bushfire season rears its head again. This year, Council has partnered with Redlands City Council and the Queensland Fire Emergency Service (QFES) to run a series of bushfire information sessions over the bushfire season.
These programs are run by the QFES and will equip residents with the information they need to protect their homes whilst also maintaining the environmental habitats that they live in.

Stanbrough and London Road intersection upgrade
I’m pleased to announce that the London Road and Stanbrough Road intersection in Belmont is being upgraded as part of the Australian Government’s 2020-21 Black Spot Program.
Meadowlands Rd & Belmont Rd Intersection Upgrade NOW COMPLETE
The Meadowlands Road and Belmont Road intersection was identified as a location within the local road network that required an upgrade to reduce congestion, improve safety and cater for future traffic demands.
Construction began in mid-April 2018 and has now been completed.
Budget ‘brings home the bacon’ for Doboy Ward
This budget, like those handed down previously, retains our 'Strong' credit rating and delivers an operating surplus to Council.
It's only through strong financial management that Council can continue to deliver more than ever before for our suburbs.

Congestion on Belmont Road during peak-hour has been bad for years and is getting worse.
Frustrated motorists are waiting up to eight minutes in peak hour to approach the intersection heading northbound.
It's time this problem was fixed.
Inland Rail proposal “diabolical” for Eastern suburbs
Over ten thousand Doboy Ward residents are in the firing line of the Federal Government's proposal to build a new dual gauge rail freight line up the Gateway Motorway.
On 11 September 2015, the Federal Government (via their wholly owned subsidiary Australian Rail Track Corporation, ARTC) released a delivery plan to the start the design and construction of a continuous inland railway link between Melbourne and Brisbane.
