Lawyers show up
LAWYERS will be invited to the council’s January meeting to provide further clarification on the use of Stanthorpe Showgrounds.
Councillors agreed to defer consideration of the report on the ancillary use of the grounds in order to seek further explanation.
No nuisance
A BUSINESS locale at 44 Old Stanthorpe Road, Warwick, will be slapped with a notice to cease creating an environmental nuisance.
Council will commence legal action against the owner of the land for non-compliance with DA conditions.
Lack of resolve
A RESOLUTION to resolve the appeal against council’s refusal of a 39-unit development in Rowland Street, Warwick, has lapsed for want of a seconder.

The resolution included the council being prepared to approve an alternative proposal after seeking satisfactory engineering solutions for stormwater drainage, water supply and sewerage provisions.
Oval advert
THE council will advertise the suggestion of Keith Masters Memorial Oval in the Allora Advertiser to seek community views on the name for the Allora cricket oval.
