Queanbeyan Civic and Cultural Precinct: Comments are closing soon on the business case and concept designs for the Queanbeyan Civic and Cultural Precinct. The precinct will link the council administration building to The Q, the Bicentennial Hall and a public domain space and include a fully accessible library on the mezzanine level. Take a look at the plans and the business case and have your say at yourvoice.qprc.nsw.gov.au.

Lascelles Street improvements: We will be upgrading Lascelles Street in Braidwood. The improvements include formalising parking to include 35 spaces with two disabled spots in front of the IGA, replacing existing trees, extending the kerb and median to allow easier crossing of the road, rehabilitating the road surface between Wallace and Ryrie Streets, new footpaths, kerb and guttering and improved driveways to allow better drainage and a new drainage pipe on Wallace Street to connect with existing stormwater. We are after the community's feedback on the proposed location of the trees, the species of trees and any treatments in the pedestrian islands. Go to yourvoice.qprc.nsw.gov.au.
