IMBIL AND KENILWORTH – SEPTEMBER

We would like to start by thanking you for your support in general and especially since the arrival of COVID19 on our shores. I understand it has been difficult especially for the business community. I am happy to report that no local business or member of the community have broken the rules. Well done and thank you all for your support.

• Crime Imbil and Kenilworth have low crime statistics however we have a few issues with visitors (illegal campers) resulting in some of them being arrested, charged and moved on. Also note the closed fishing season – August, September, October – in the Mary River and tributaries.

• Road Safety We are always targeting traffic offenders. Sadly there has been an increase in road-related fatalities. We therefore make no excuses for targeting those road users who put themselves and the community at risk.

SLOW DOWN, STICK TO THE SPEED LIMIT. BE MINDFUL OF ONE LANE BRIDGES AND ANY WILDLIFE. DO NOT DRINK / DRUG DRIVE.
