Open House Clearance

Open House Clearance
25th September 2019
Group B, Lot 20
We are having a pre-sale house clearance on Wednesday 25th September, as we’d prefer residents to claim any items that may be of use, before disposing of them.
There are all manner of things available, and it will all be laid out for you to pick and choose at your leisure.
It’s looking like it may be a wet day, so a good activity for a non-beach day.
The house will be open all day, and there may be a sausage and beverage available if you’re there at the right time.
No need to bring any cash!
Regards
Andrew Stewart

GCWA Residents Submission

 Dear Residents,

BOAT SPEED LIMITS AT CURRIGEE

The Gold Coast Waterways Authority’s (GCWA) “Speed Limits and Behaviour Management Strategy 2018-2020 is attached. This report supports changes to boat speed limits that are evidence based and achieve an appropriate balance between safety and transport efficiency. It sets out as Priority 1 “Adopt a process to review speed limits and make changes where required”.

South Stradbroke Island Residents are therefore in a good position to request a reduction in the speed limit between the GCCC Campgrounds at North and South Currigee if we can present enough credible evidence, especially with respect to safety.

The GCWA say they “will always be happy to receive enquiries or listen to concerns about speed limits, or speed signs, for a particular area of Gold Coast waterways. These enquiries or concerns can be reported directly to GCWA by telephone on 07 5539 7350 or by email to mail@gcwa.qld.gov.au.”. We believe that it would be preferable that concerns are sent by email and copied to the committee (contact@southstradbroke.com.au or contact@currigeefootprints.com)  so that we can collate and quote them when required.

A concern may be framed along the lines of the attached letter – please personalise and if possible include pictures as evidence before sending.

If you have any questions please email the committee at contact@southstradbroke.com.au or contact@currigeefootprints.com 

Regards,

The Committee
