Here are some major items set to be discussed at the council table.
Cemetery policy review Council agenda documents state that after a council briefing session on February 17, changes were made to the region s cemetery policy to better reflect community expectations. Some of the major amendments suggested for the policy include allowing real and artificial flowers after the first month after interment and allowing adornments on graves if they are secure and don t encroach on other graves. The amendments reflect a more considered approach to respecting the rights of families and the broader community feedback to allow for managing cemeteries and their ongoing maintenance, council agenda documents state.

Cough up for parking Drivers may soon have to fork out to park at another Airlie Beach carpark as it is recommended councillors implement paid parking in the carpark next to the Whitsunday Sailing Club. The proposed fees will be in line with fees currently charged at the Port of Airlie, Coral Sea Marina and Airlie Beach Lagoon Precinct carparks. The cost will begin at $3 for zero to two hours and parking permits will also be available at $174 for 28 days, $874 for six months and $1398 for a year. Agenda documents state the installation of paid parking in the area will enable the Parking and Infringement Integrated Management System project to be finished.
