ALAN DEERING QUESTIONS

Report

QUESTION 1

Noosa Council is guided by, and not dictated by the Austroads Standards and Guidelines, also the Department of Main Roads Planning and Design Manual, so the Noosa Plan that states when sealing dirt roads they must be no less than 9 metres is a Noosa Council initiative. Does Noosa Council agree that any future sealing of dirt roads in the Noosa Shire will be to a minimum width of 9 metres?

QUESTION 2

Noosa Council employees such as Plant Operators are required to undergo a mandatory silica test every 12 months. Noosa Council recognises the workplace risks of airborne dust but totally ignores the health risks of airborne dust to ratepayers living on dirt roads. Why hasn't Noosa Council addressed the dust issue of residents living on dirt roads in Noosa Shire by at least adding dust suppressant in water trucks when annual resheeting of dirt roads?
