Agenda Unpacked | October 2026
Circular Head Council meets this Thursday 15 October at 6pm at the Council Chambers, 33 Goldie Street, Smithton.
The agenda is now available, with updates on projects, services and activities across Circular Head, as well as reports and recommendations for councillors to consider.
What's on the agenda?
Child and Family Learning Centre
Councillors will consider taking the next step towards donating Council-owned land at 33A King Street, Smithton (near ANZAC Park) for the proposed Child and Family Learning Centre. If supported, this will begin the required public notification and consultation process. It is not a final decision. Council will consider the outcome of consultation and the relevant implications in a further report before determining whether to proceed.
