On Sunday, August 20th at 10am the PDCA is hosting a community meeting with our Townsville City Council representative, Margie Ryder. This will provide an opportunity for Margie to report on what the Council has been doing and to listen to any concerns that Paluma residents may have relating to council facilities and initiatives. Items that we will be inviting Margie to comment on include:
- Plans for signage at the village entrance, and upgrade of other signs around the village
- Dog Poo bag dispensers and other issues on animal control (Cats, noisy dogs)
- Community security in the light of multiple recent events in and around the village
- Road Maintenance
- Vegetation control (weeds)
The meeting is open to all Paluma residents. Please mark this date and come along to have your say.
Additional comments for Item 4. Road Maintenance.
– Increasing the width of the road from township to the dam so vehicles don’t have to get off the bitumen when passing an oncoming vehicle. This road is very well used as the roadside clearly demonstrates.
– In some spots the difference in height between the bitumen and the roadside is quite nasty and there are plenty of boggy patches to navigate which is not a pleasant experience for any driver, more particularly the visiting ones who are not accustomed to such navigation.
– Replacing the “End 40km’ with an actual speed limit would be more appropriate and I suggest that it should be limited to 60km rather than giving the perception motorists are entering a State speed limit of 100kmh zone
