    TR asked 24 days ago

    Hi - thanks for your questions.

    Caravans are legally allowed to park on the road, with some conditions. The Public Spaces (Unattended Property) Act 2021, provides the time frames around parking trailers and caravans. Parking must also comply with the NSW Road Rules 2014. In Googong, caravans can sometimes become an issue if they are too close to the double lines in the middle of the road. We use discretion in monitoring and patrolling the areas where the streets are narrow and where there is a lack of room on blocks of land.

    Parking enforcement is carried out in Googong regularly at least twice a week.

  • Share Good morning, I am trying to find where the list of paths is mentioned in the “share your footpath priorities” mentioned in the most recent QPRC news.

I acknowledge it was probably the developers responsibility to put in the footpath but why is there not one? It would be much safer. Walking up the hill is also really good exercise so I prefer to walk rather than drive when I can but it is always better if it is easier and safer to walk. Thank you.

    TR asked 24 days ago

    Hi - thanks for your question.

    Council is always looking into ways to support and implement these kinds of projects in the LGA.

    We were unable to apply for the Community Batteries for Household Solar Program grant due to requirement for at least 50% co-funding.

    We are currently investigating the opportunities for renewable energy with battery storage for key infrastructure. Our Community Action Plan has emphasised investigating how Council can support community energy projects.

    As an example, Council's has recently provided a letter of support for a 5MW/10MWh solar and battery backup project under ARENA Regional Microgrids Program within the LGA.

    Council is also working with third-party companies to investigate feasible locations for community batteries.

    Hi there - thanks for your question. Unfortunately the two EV units were vandalised. We have fixed the visibly damaged equipment but the RFID unit was also damaged. This has been ordered and we hope to have them up and running within the next couple of weeks.

    The learner drivers course and child car seat safety checks are fully funded by Transport for NSW.

    Fixer Upper Mum asked 10 months ago

    Thanks for your question. Local Government is not responsible for establishing public preschools, this is something that the NSW Department of Education is responsible for. 

    As part of the NSW Government’s 2024-25 Budget, they announced in May 2024 that a new public preschool will be built at Queanbeyan South Public School.
