Valuable portal

IPSWICH City Council has launched an online portal for residents to report non- urgent requests in the community.

For users of Council sporting facilitates this could include requests for maintenance on clubhouses, mowing, garden mainte- nance or new wheelie bin services.

The best aspect about the portal is that you can log in at any time to track where the request is up to.

Community event

THE Gallipoli Run is a community and family fun walk/jog and run to signify the awareness of ANZAC Day.

Gallipoli Run participants on April 17 are encouraged to run, jog or walk in distances of 5km/10km or a 2km children's dash.

It is a community-based event to raise money for a charity of choice.

At the end of the run, participants will be provided a piece of rosemary that they can place on the iconic Hill at North Ipswich oval and it will remain until Anzac Day.

Each participant will receive a special custom designed boxed Gallipoli Run rugby league ball to take home.

Brisbane Broncos star Anthony Milford will be in attendance to sign the footballs.
