The pair will visit multiple sites over a five-week period, including Booval Fair and Ipswich Central Library, as part of council’s ‘Community Matters’ program.
Visits to Coles Silkstone, Leichhardt One Mile Community Centre, Riverview Community Centre and Redbank Plaza have also been scheduled.
The program will start on June 14, winding up little more than a month later on July 19.
