A:Pedestrian access and 1 car doesnt see issue with access MARGIE SUGGESTED NEW PRESENTATION SIMILAR TO INITIAL Q? How long been operating in Townsville? A: 6 years Q (M HART:) Problem arising is that C SMITH sent out letter saying that no other site had dual access. A: C SMITH "Facility has smaller use of area than lifeguard as far as access goes its about leaving via Hayle or Goodwin or Hayle." D CROSSBY: Facility to use foot, bike and rhino. D GLAISTER (In response to issues regarding access and traffic) If police are there and need to get out quickly they will get out. Q? Compared with how area was last year has been under control. Why do you need a police beat when area is under control, dont see why it is needed? A: DCROSSBY on major events, facility will boost resources. Crime is cyclical DGLAISTER In big picture most offences down and increase has been in Burleigh Heads area.
