Resolution: Moved by Councillor Nicole Jonic:
17.1
Notice of Motion - Virtual Heritage Trail
Recommendation
That Council work with community to showcase and share the strong heritage and beautiful architecture of Ipswich via placement of QR codes, as part of a Digital Trail. Collaborating existing resources, such as Picture Ipswich, stories of our history, and community input, these QR Codes on heritage buildings can be scanned by visitors as a way of sharing history, information on the history and stories of Ipswich.
Councillor Marnie Doyle proposed the following amendment to the motion:
That Council prepare and provide a report to the Growth, Infrastructure and Waste Committee in November 2023 regarding the implementation of QR codes to complement Ipswich’s Heritage Trails published on council’s Picture Ipswich website. The report would include detail of the work that would need to be undertaken by council to implement the QR codes, including the appropriate placement of the QR codes on buildings, information poles or other council owned assets (also taking into consideration several buildings on the Heritage Trails are privately owned and council would need the consent of the respective owners), as well as the likely cost to council to implement QR codes across the various Heritage Trail locations in Ipswich.
