1. The options for consideration and approval by Councillors for a standard welcome to suburb/town signs (colours, graphics, dimensions and layout).
2. Details as to the Council plans to replace outdated brown welcome to suburb/town signs that have been in place for many years in the Ipswich suburbs/towns west of Karrabin.

0 New Item (Committees) - General Business Matters
QUESTIONS – Speed awareness sign and upgrade to redbank plains road intersection
1. Councillor Paul Tully stated that the Smiley Face Speed Awareness Sign, specifically the one on Jones Road, Bellbird Park just north of Katandra Crescent, where the pixelation has failed in the past few weeks, has been removed and queried the timeframe for the sign to be fixed or replaced.
2. Councillor Paul Tully stated with the upgrade to Redbank Plains Road, from Kruger roundabout through to Keidges Road, it was intended to replace the roundabout on the corner of Redbank Plains Road, Bellbird Park and Kruger Parade, however there was a problem in relation to an Urban Utilities underground main which delayed the work and a temporary roundabout has been installed. Councillor Tully queried when the work will commence to finalise this project.
That the General Manager Asset and Infrastructure Services provide a formal response to Questions 1 and 2 above to the next meeting with an interim response provided to the Mayor and Councillors.
