What a moment as he arrived at the heart of this great location. A whole army could park their vehicles without paying any tickets which is absolutely rare for Noosa. Only a hand full of visitors walked around at 6 pm. Most restaurants had been closed. Has Noosa turned into a ghost town? The car park next to the "Life Savers" was nearly empty. I asked myself, is this the reaction of Bob´s warning "Leave the Sunshine Coast alone". Sorry Bob, I have taken your words out of context.

How long is the Multi council going to discriminate the charge paid by Noosa Residents with the Swimming Pool REGISTRATION FEE ON RATES?
Why is this charge (sorry) levy not charged across the Council area?
Why does just one third of the shire pay the levy?

Call to clean up roads

As entrance statements go to Noosa, the drive in along Noosa-Eumundi Road is being trashed according to Doonan resident Murray Hopping.

He said from the Beckmans Road roundabout out to the Sunshine Coast council refuse tip, the roadside was usually strewn with loads of rubbish which had fallen off the backs of dump-bound vehicles.

And a frustrated Mr Hopping said while the initial responsibility should be getting tip-users to secure their loads properly, he could not find an authority prepared to take responsibility for cleaning up the renegade rubbish.

“I contacted the council a while back and they said that the roadside is a matter for Main Roads and Main Roads said they only handle the roadside slashing,” Mr Hopping said.

And the very mention of slashing is enough to drive Mr Hopping mad - because he said whenever the slashers did their handiwork the result was a bigger shredded mess.

He said all manner of objects ended up along the road including mattresses.

“It is a terrible entrance statement for Noosa - I don't think (mayor) Bob Abbot would allow that sort of thing in Hastings Street, so why do we have to put up with it along this road?”

He suggested a special clean-up might be arranged and the collected junk be put in an industrial bin with a sign saying this litter was left along our roadways.

John Netherton, manager of civil works services for the Sunshine Coast Regional Council, said council was aware there was a chronic litter problem along this stretch of road and believed it was mainly caused by vehicles transporting uncovered loads.

“Although this is a Main Roads Department road, council staff currently schedule four to five clean-ups per year, with the next clean-up scheduled for the end of September. We attempt to schedule these clean-ups around important events, or the level of litter,” he said.

“Each clean-up is labour intensive, as council staff must walk the stretch of road, hand picking the litter, which takes around three days.”

He said residents and visitors should understand the importance of covering refuse transferred to landfill.

The following has been brought to the editors attention.

About 2 years ago, a property owner at Clearview Road called a prof. tree remover to inspect a rubber tree next to his drive way. As everyone knows the worst neighbour you can have is a rubber tree. The property owner was worried about his bitumen drive way because there was a clear sgin that the roots are close to his drive way and a brick wall.

The roots have been trimmed back and the same happened with the tree. Some days later he received a NSC letter where he was thretened with legal action in case he would continue doing further damage to the tree.

Last week (2 years later) Council worker turned up and chopped down nearly the whole tree. And.....they poisoned the tree.

There is no need for further comment.
