  Residents who live along Dolphin Bay Dr. and Whale Dr. in the northern section  inshine Beachegake}
  pride in our homes and our neighborhood. Our roads have deteriorated to the po   at thay figh Cr  feet
  the standard that we hold ourselves to with regard to our own properties. We petit   shir,   <enie
  urgent attention to the need to upgrade the infrastructure to improve both appearance   f    fonality.
  Specifically, the curbs and storm drains are crumbling and subsiding, as shown on photo pages one and
  two. These are the worst looking spots, but not the only places where concrete works need attention
  Secondly, water has been running freely down Dolphin Bay Dr. for months now, and this has been a
  frequent occurrence over the years. See photos on page two. The patchwork fixes have not improved the
  situation. This area needs significant drainage work to carry water under amd away from the roadway.
 Thirdly, the roadway has numerous potholes that have become puddles lately. See photos on page three
 They have been patched repeatedly but the groundwater problems have never been addressed. Two
  photos (18 April and 4 June) of the same pothole on page three show how quickly a two-week-old plug is
 eaten out by vehicles.
 The final photo page shows some of the numerous large patched areas and a recent sinkhole near a storm
 drain, which has been marked by Council. Also on that page are photos of the crowded parking at the crest
 of Dolphin Bay. Visibility is nil over the crest and the drivable area is barely suitable for a single vehicle. This
 creates a dangerous situation when two cars come roaring uphill into that narrow, blind aperture.
 The undersigned residents and owners respectfully request that Noosa Shire undertake an evaluation of
 the conditions on these roads and undertake improvement works to upgrade the appearance and
 functionality of our neighborhood roadways. With a new annual budget coming into effect this is an
 excellent opportunity to earmark funds for these improvements.
