On the 20th April , Council finished the installation of a secured gate at the end of Gooreengi Rd to prevent the further illegal dumping of materials including household garden and building matter. Council had previously cleared the illegal dumpings, however for every load taken away a new load or two quickly replaced it. The cost to remove this rubbish was uncontrollable and due to the persistence of a NAC resident (who doesn't wish to be identified) in pressuring Council with repeated suggestions that the installation of a secured gate was the only solution to this ongoing problem, Council acted and the gate was installed.

And also a thanks to you Bruce for acknowledging the responses from the various public authorities that have contributed to this resolution.
