                additional koala sign along Weyba Road-Noosa Drive, for consideration as part
                of the 2019/20 budget process;
         3.     Investigate through the Traffic Advisory & Speed Management Committee a
                speed limit reduction to 50km/hr along Noosa Drive from Pinaroo Park
                roundabout to Weyba Bridge;
         4.     Where possible, retain regrowth vegetation along fence lines at Walter Hay Drive
                and Eenie Creek Road because of the scale and impact of maintenance clearing
                that would be required;
         5.     Develop new koala infrastructure for the Council road network only under the
                following circumstances:
                    When it is a requirement of a development application;
                    When it is a road/bridge renewal in a koala hotspot area as identified by
                     the Koala Infrastructure Audit & Feasibility Report; or
                    When data suggests that vehicle strike is the greatest threat to koalas in a
                     particular location and the new infrastructure will mitigate that threat.
                                                                                           Carried.
