High on the agenda for the George Town Council tomorrow will be the creation of tree carvings at Windmill Point.
Unique Chainsaw Sculptures owner Eddie Freeman has drafted plans for a carving of Paterson, Bass and Flinders for the site.
His sketches feature Bass holding gum leaves and Flinders feeding a fish to his cat, Trim.
Almost $15,000 was put aside for the project with a further $3000 needed.
Cr Peter Parkes has put forward a notice of motion to livestream council meetings.
He wrote that it would make the council meetings more accessible.
Acting general manager John Martin said costings for the project would be made available in the new year.
The George Town Council will also discuss funding for the Launceston Triathlon Club to hold an event at George Town.
The club has requested $1500 assistance.
Riverside's Cormiston Road could be home to a 75-bed residential aged-care facility if the West Tamar Council approves a development application at its meeting today.
The council received 18 representations against the development.
Statutory planner James Ireland concluded the proposal from Japara Healthcare Ltd was "reasonable".
