2. Ipswich City Heart Cabs Program Transition Update
Resolution: Moved by Councillor Andrew Fechner:
2. Ipswich City Heart Cabs Program Transition Update
This is a report concerning the Ipswich City Heart Cabs (ICHC) transition.
At the Community, Culture, Arts and Sport Committee No. 2021(01) dated
25 February 2021 , the Ipswich City Heart Cabs Review report was presented and the recommendation that it was discontinued was endorsed.
Since first establishing Ipswich City Heart Cabs there have been many changes in the community transport market, including the establishment of the NDIS and My Aged Care systems, as well as state-wide subsidised transport scheme. This alone is a significant factor in discontinuing the program.
Therefore, Council has been working closely with those providers to ensure residents are able to transition from the Ipswich City Heart Cabs Program to alternative community transport providers.
RECOMMENDATION
Moved by Councillor Andrew Fechner:
Seconded by Mayor Teresa Harding (Mayor):
That the Ipswich City Heart Cabs Program Transition Update be received and noted by Council.
