18/253 MOTION Councillor Brown/Councillor Thomson THAT Council:
 

 

 
1. Request that RMS consider removal of the bus stops north and south, from the Princes Highway at Tuross and provide a bus stop within the proposed carpark, including a bus shelter, to address safety and access needs,
 

 

Above: The Disability Inclusion Advisory Committee were of the opinion was that the proposed carpark was too far from the bus stops, that there was no path provided, that the bus stop on the western side remained requiring passengers to cross the highway and that a solution such as that at Sussex Inlet with the bus, passengers and parking all taking place away from the highway would be a better solution.


 
2. Seek urgent meeting with RMS to discuss these issues
 

 

 
3. Seek urgent representation to the Local Member and relevant Ministers to advocate for funding for these works.
 

 

 
(The Motion on being put was declared CARRIED)
