Ipswich Today

Councillors on their best behaviour with state government officials in the public gallery, media policy review taken behind closed doors, mayor back from Nerima, Singapore and Europe, and lots of talk about suburb entry signs after an underwhelming new Wulkuraka sign surprises everyone. Mayor Teresa Harding joins the show after the February meeting of Ipswich City Council.

Another surprise from Ash’s radio past, candidates are lining up for the seat of Blair, mayor back from Nerima visit, Cr Andrew Antoniolli declares low morale, former council buildings make way for new hospital car park, odour inquiry expands areas of interest and a call for local artists to create major works of public art. Time for another yarn over the back fence with Walter Williams and Ashleigh Mac.

If it has been a while since you last visited the Old Flour Mill in Brisbane Street then it might be the right time to rediscover hidden treasures in the arcade downstairs. In this episode you’ll meet two entrepreneurs who have taken the plunge to open businesses in this historic top of town building. They are diverse and interesting. You’ll hear what drives their passion and about the unique items on sale. NB: This episode is not a commercial arrangement, however I do have an interest in two products on sale at Nhuralama.
