NOTICE OF SUBMISSION BY Alan Hocking 14

      •   In view of the increased parking and traffic issues raised through Cr. Jurisevic last year can
          Council again revisit the concerns of residents.
      •   This is a Heritage site and it is hoped that Council will ensure that the site is restored to
          reflect the original image.
      •   There is no doubt this prominent site is well overdue for redevelopment, however
          unfortunately the priority seems to be establishing a beer garden with heritage and
          community issues being given little consideration.

Good afternoon Cr Joe Jurisevic,

 Thank you for your comprehensive submission on Blakesley Street on behalf of local
residents. Council officers can appreciate that residing on the edge of a business centre can have
its challenges in terms of traffic management, balanced by the convenience of living adjacent to
a suite of available services.

I apologise for the length of time it has taken for a reply, but the extent of issues raised were
extensive and required some investigation. We have structured our reply to respond to the points
raised in the submission.

Please note that we have identified several items for repair and rectification as a result of the
submission and we can also advise on some future design planning for Tewantin to assist long
term planning.




1.        Speeding in Blakesley St




1.1       Speed Limit

Tewantin CBD is designated as a “40 Area”. The speed limit of 40km/hr is consistent with speed
limits for village and business centres applied by Noosa Council across the Shire.

All motorists entering the CBD encounter prominent “40 Area” signs at key entry points, including
Lake Street, Memorial Avenue, Poinciana Avenue, and Sidoni Street. This signage signifies that
all drivers are required to adhere to a speed limit of 40 km/hr until they see the “End 40” speed
limit sign.

Motorists accessing Blakesley Street, whether via Sidoni Street or Diyan Street via Lake Street or
Memorial Avenue, will encounter a 40 Area sign en-route. Council does not consider the speed
