QUESTION 1
Three years ago I first raised concerns about the lack of lighting on the pathway connecting
Yellowood Close and the Tewantin Sports Complex. Given this pathway is regularly used by
families, children and sporting groups, will Council investigate and apply for available Queensland
Government Grant funding to install lighting at this location?

QUESTION 2
Council has advised that an alternative route exists via McKinnon Drive. However many residents
continue to use the access pathway from Yellowood Close, because it provides direct access to the
sporting precinct. What assessment has Council undertaken of the pathway's usage an safety risks,
and what criteria would meed to be met before lighting is considered?
