TL;DR: Announcement of a new Brisbane City Council initiative to improve local parks, a police search for a man connected to several stabbings in Brisbane, and the diagnosis of the first professional female athlete with CTE. There have also been a major milestone for a popular restaurant.

Popular restaurant celebrates major milestone. Source

You just linked to the general "Brisbane news" section of that site. A few of your other links have a similar problem. Some sites make it a little awkward to do, but you should really try to ensure you've got the permalink to the relevant news article.

But also, it'd be super awesome if the description/headline you used avoided the clickbait from the original article. "Gold Coast pizza restaurant celebrates 10th anniversary", for example.

Great roundup of local news, thanks!

Great, now I just need a local park. Our councillor promised one a year ago but we've heard nothing since. At this rate my kids will outgrow parks before one is built in our suburb.

Recently they put in a small play area (swings, slide, etc) into a random empty block of land, and suddenly it's full of families

Our neighbourhood is already full of kids and families. We're all over the road every afternoon and we've had to make our own playground with marketplace equipment in an empty space. Luckily the few neighbours without kids are onboard.
