General Business
Street lighting is inadequate in all of the Fernhill Sunshine Bay area. Carolyn read a letter received from QLDC stating that a new line was required on Fernhill Road and this was being actioned by Delta. Councillor Lou Alfeld advised that Delta is the hold up for this additional lighting not being in place and he is following up on this.

With additional service being provided by Connectabus footpaths in some of the unlit areas are very dangerous. The committee needs to keep pressure on the Council to have this fixed.
