Top Ipswich stories you may have missed

Budget stories are always about winners and losers, and Ipswich was mainly the latter after we took a while to look for which major projects were set to receive federal government funding.
At the top of our list this year were upgrades to the Cunningham Hwy Yamanto to Ebenezer Creek section, the Springfield-Ipswich rail line, and improvements to North Ipswich Reserve.
Blair MP Shayne Neumann has been scathing of the budget, saying Ipswich has been ignored. Picture: Alix Sweeney
The upgrade to the Mt Crosby Rd interchange on the Warrego Hwy is the only major road project to get a mention in the budget.

WHEN a young Ipswich mum found herself looking for something more from life while raising two children, working and completing her PhD, she stumbled across a trick or two.
Meg Hooper hasn’t looked back since she joined a circus group about a decade ago, and after also getting her children involved she started looking at ways to start her own group up in Ipswich.
The result was Circus Ipswich, formed in 2017, which has provided a much needed creative and physical outlet for children with autism and other physical and intellectual disabilities.
“I fell in love with the circus, and knowing what it did for my sense of wellbeing and that of my children, it was something I wanted to bring closer to home,” Dr Hooper said.

REVEALED: Ipswich's favourite showbag is a national classic

Premium Content
SHOW bag vendors are unloading their goodies in preparation for the Ipswich Show.
As well as old favourites jam-packed with sweets, chocolate, toys and novelties, new bags are up for grabs to tempt showgoers after a two-year wait since the last show.
Growing up surrounded by show bags, Samantha Atkinson has seen the showbag industry transform.
The granddaughter of Australian show bag company Showbags.com, formerly known as Bensons Trading, has been involved in the company for the past 15 years as a product manager.
"My family has been involved in the industry for 70 years and (in that time) show bags have really changed," she said.

WITH a huge amount of food scraps ending up in landfill when they don’t need to be, Ipswich City Council is offering its green waste service for free for residents for a limited time in a bid to curb an alarming level of wastage.
The council is falling well behind its landfill diversion target set by the state government.
Ipswich City Council currently offers a paid service with a choice of either a 240 litre or 360 litre green waste wheelie bin, which costs $20 a quarter and is collected every two weeks.
Green bins were introduced in Ipswich in 2011.
