      3.1   Cooroy Noosa Road, Cooroy                                             Council   Nigel

            Issue: Customer and Councillor request to extend 60km/hr
            speed limit from Cooroy to Swift Drive Intersection.

            Result
                     1. Work Order 4023 – community should talk to DTMR
                        direct. As request is from Cr Bolton, Nigel to write to
                        DTMR asking for an investigation.

      3.2   Edward St / Pacific Avenue Intersection, Sunshine Beach               Council   Nigel

            Issue: Customer request to address seagull intersection
            which has high accident crash rate.

            Result
               1. QPS confirmed that this intersection in recent years did
                   not rate high in terms of accident severity.
               2. N.Walker confirmed that this intersection was previously
                   considered and received ‘Black Spot funding’. Due to
                   amalgamation of Councils a decision was made to not
                   proceed with the intersection upgrade.
               3. Leanne Stokes from TMR confirmed that accidents are
                   usually angle accidents. Suggestion most appropriate
                   short term solution would be to extend seagull island in
                   northbound direction. Long term solution would be a
                   roundabout. This option would need to be investigated
                   further based on previous planning.
