Word on the Street What would you like to see in the community and how can we get that here in the region?

I think maybe something similar to the Strand in Townsville would be more suitable for the young ones. I know there are a lot of sports or whatever they can get into, and even on weekends, they can go down the beach. Maybe something similar to the Strand in Townsville would be better, with slippery slides and water things the kids can play in. But I haven’t the faintest idea how to get this.

I'd like to see a playground for the kids in the park there, with a water feature. I was only talking about that the other day. It'd be nice to have something in the park where the kids could just run through beside their swings.

Probably more things to do for the young people and keep them in town,
more employment and then some sort of entertainment, just something to keep kids in town, would be good. I’m not sure how that could happen, but maybe it could be government funding.

Shaun Jones
I’m pretty new here, but as is the case anywhere, I’d like to see more things for young people. But I find it pretty good at the moment, it’s casual, family feel, and pretty laid back. The rain sucked but it’s a good little place, good position, nice and warm, and plenty of work.

I think David Crisafulli is probably doing the right thing, but maybe getting people to lift all the air conditioning and stuff like that would be good. I think we're never going to get away from floods. So let's just make it easier for people to clean up and get started again.

Brian Newman
Obviously, there's quite a lot for aged care. I think we're going pretty well as far as I’m concerned. There's definitely a need for things for young people; sporting facilities are finding it hard to find committee members. But I think the Council and lots of groups have been trying to get more things for the local area, but it all costs money.

I love Ingham. The people are great, there’s lots of help, and it's not busy. I don't have any complaints about Ingham whatsoever. Absolutely not. My grandson goes to the local school, which is absolutely amazing, but I have no complaints other than being flooded the other day, where we're not supposed to have been flooded. Otherwise, I've got no complaints, absolutely none.

A place for the old folks to get together, they do get together here, but a lot of them haven't got the money to buy a cup of coffee, see where that house is, there, that's ideally placed. Somebody owns it, but if a charity got together and they own that, the old folks could get downstairs and sort of have a yak.
