Thank you, Frank. Yes. Okay, Cootharaba community association. Should, the its aim is to represent the community on matters that affect the community. I'm the president, Jan Green is the vice president, and the CCA was formed in 2001 at Noosa Council's request. Our General Committee on the 25th of October we prepared a list of seven or eight items, primary issues for our community. I'll quickly go through those now. Greywater discharge outside the caravan park, it's a work in progress. The village precinct concept update since 2006. It includes safety issues. Pedestrian safety issues have been raised by RM202517154 by Amelia Lorentson. There are other issues that we as an association have concerns about in terms of speed controls, without more fighting in the streets to solve that problem, there's a bit of history with that, but just wanted to make sure we understand the village precinct concept I'm talking about. No more kerb and channel, no footpath increases. We're really looking for that village precinct set of. Lead. The membership focus is that we have that atmosphere as a high priority and safety in science, including the safety awareness monitors. As well, speed and van U-turns in the camping ground to avoid the van passages past the Lake Cootharaba sailing club. In other words, the bottom of the hill here. There's a roundabout. It's really not signed. Some people don't understand that what it says there. Pauses. Green points increase popularity. Confusing audible signage. Distracted drivers, for example, a 24-kilometre-an-hour speed sign on Boreen Parade coming down the hill. It's not seen. We can see the lake first. Missing direction U-turn at the bottom of the hill and a review to deploy pavement markers. In a village, we'd walk down the side of the street. We'd like to retain that. Left hand outbound shoulder for pedestrians and cycles going out of town around the corner needs the support of the State government, Main Roads and we hope. That the Council. Will be able to step up to the mark and give us some assistance there. For sure, foreshore working group is the next major issue. It's been going for a while. Shaun Walsh has been heavily involved as one of the members of that working group as well as members of the community. We have beach, tree root and tree stability concerns. Thanks. That's another part of our safety anxiety at the moment. And getting a better understanding of the cause of the erosion on the beach. I've had a chat with Shaun today. We've come to grips with understanding how it was dealt with in the past by councils on the quiet. That's what happens in yesteryear. Dog off leash was an issue. The pipes and taps replacement along the foreshore, which is a work in progress, I understand, but that was on our list. So, how do we deal with this? We are requesting, can this community be moved onto the placemaking plan in order to affect the health?
