Any discussion? Any all in favour? That's unanimous. Welcome, Mayor Clare. Thank you. Mr Chair. As Mayor Clare is attending via Microsoft Teams, I'm chairing tonight in her place. Can I please have a mover for the confirmation of the Minutes of the Ordinary Meeting held on 17th of August, 2023. So moved. Abbotty, second. Stockwell, senator, Councillor Finzel, all in favour? Thank you. There are no. Yes. Are no Mayoral minutes. I thank have a petition you. To present on behalf of 148 signatories submitted by Joyce Carolyn Brumley. I'll read out the substance of her petition. She writes, I'm the property owner of 191 Mary River Road, Cooroy 4563. I share access to my property with 201 Mary River Road and 10 worley court via worley court. Access in and out of my property has been restricted for over two years now and attempts to ensure my free access have been unsuccessful. The restriction is due to uncontrolled parking by customers of a busy roadside stall, food and drink outlet located at 201 Mary River Road. The numbers of cars parked along the road verge road shoulder into my property blind spots, rural fire brigade, as well as cars pulling into the roadside stall, while other cars travel by at kilometres an hour pose a daily risk. This especially applies to my school aged children who must cross the road five times a week to catch the school bus at the rural fire station. Free access to a home is a basic human right. My children also have rights road. Unfortunately some of the drivers turning into the businesses do not keep a proper lookout. In Queensland there is a law that drivers must give way to pedestrians crossing the road to which their vehicles are turning. This right applies whether or not there are stop signs, give way signs or traffic lights. As such we the undersigned humbly and respectfully petition Noosa Council to act upon the problems mentioned. We hope that this humble petition meets your kind consideration. I'd like to move that this petition be received and referred to the Chief Executive Officer to determine the appropriate action.
