Council Narrowing Footpath Plan Amid Railway Ownership Debate
Alderman W W Savage opposed council maintenance claims as the Railways Department owns the property. After long discussion, council agreed to notify the Railways Dept and empower the Mayor to press for reconsideration, proposing cost sharing 20 80 for pedestrian and vehicle approaches and 60 80 for maintenance. Joint committee notes include gas manager salary, vehicle allowance adjustments, and building permits for several residents.

Rygate Park to host cricket and football year-round
Municipal Council decided not to sanction a cycle track at Rygate Park during cricket and reserved the oval for cricket and football. Aldermen debated locating a separate cycle area, with Kennard Park proposed, but preservation of school children’s play space and safety concerns prevailed. Council will develop Rygate Park as a cricket and football ground and seek alternatives for cyclists.
