Listen "Ipswich election watch: Sheila Ireland reveals why the run for mayor instead of caravan holidays"
Episode Synopsis
Sheila Ireland was first elected to Ipswich City Council in 2004 and was subsequently re-elected every four years until all councillors were dismissed by the state government in 2018. To the surprise of many Sheila nominated and then secured one of two councillor positions for the new Division 1 in 2020. Now in 2024 she is having a shot at running for mayor.Published: 22 January 2024.Theme music: www.purple-planet.comImage: Ipswich councillor Sheila Ireland (supplied)Local government elections: https://www.ecq.qld.gov.au/elections/election-events/2024-local-government-electionsIpswich Today election watch: https://ipswichtoday.com.au/ipswich-election-watch/Ipswich City Council: www.ipswich.qld.gov.au/Council meeting agendas and minutes: bit.ly/2JlrVKYCouncil meetings on YouTube: www.youtube.com/c/IpswichCityCouncilTVIpswich Planning Scheme: https://bit.ly/3g4Jwb7Shape Your Ipswich: www.shapeyouripswich.com.au/Ipswich Civic Centre: www.ipswichciviccentre.com.au/Ipswich Art Gallery: www.ipswichartgallery.qld.gov.au/Discover Ipswich: www.discoveripswich.com.au/Workshops Rail Museum: https://www.museum.qld.gov.au/rail-workshopsIpswich Libraries: www.ipswichlibraries.com.au/Studio 188: www.studio188.com.au/Nicholas Street Precinct: www.nicholasst.com.au/Picture Ipswich: www.pictureipswich.com.au/Lost Ipswich Facebook: https://bit.ly/3pLLBwNcLocal Ipswich News: https://localipswichnews.com.au/Disclosure: Allan Roebuck worked at Ipswich City Council during part of the period Sheila Ireland has been a councillor.
