HINTERLAND MOBILE TELEPHONE SURVEY

Closure of the 3G telephone service was supposed to open the way for a better telephone service.  Seems that has not happened with many new black spots in rural areas and many reports of insufficient data bandwidth, especially on weekends for  Telstra users.


A greater concern is the complete loss of mobile phone service during weather events.  This is putting lives at risk and needs Government intervention.


CSF is carrying out a survey to get a clearer understanding of these problems and will present the findings to Federal MP Scott Buchholz.

Forest Park 

A community campaign is being started to restore the toilet facilities, shelter shed and picnic tables that were "vandalised" by the Department of Natural Resources to create a "green space".


Forest Park is a popular swimming and picnic destination that used to have amenities including public toilets - nowhere to go now when nature calls!

Land Court Reform Needed

It is time to move to a tribunal so that farmers have an affordable option to argue their case in regard to land valuations.  Currently you would need  up to $100,000 to cover legal costs to have a judge  adjudicate.  This is an unfair system.

Numinbah Waste Transfer Facility

The future of the Numinbah Waste Transfer Station is under a cloud with some Councillors wanting to withdraw the service. 


This facility is relied upon by many members of our community and there is a concern that the "outsiders" using this service are putting this convenience at risk.


This is one of the issues to be discussed at the Community Forum.

Bridge/Road Upgrades

SINGLE LANE BRIDGES
For 30 years, the upgrade of single lane bridges to two lanes has been mooted.  In the interests of road safety, this needs to be given priority.

NO PASSING LANES
A lack of safe passing opportunities on the Nerang-Murwillumbah Rd., leads to drivers taking risks to pass the many tourists who often drive at only 50kph. This is a road safety issue that needs to be addressed sooner rather than later.
