Carina receives Doboy’s first LED Warning Signs
In mid-2016, Council announced a commitment of $3.24 million to fund a four-year Light Emitting Diode (LED) Road Signs program. This new road safety program involves the installation of LED road signs at known accident hotspots throughout Brisbane.
As your local Councillor, I am aware that rollovers and collisions are an issue along Creek Road and as such, I have arranged to have a slowdown LED road sign installed to address this.
Council is proposing to install the permanent LED road sign northbound on Creek Road, just past the D’Arcy Road intersection, during March 2017
New playground equipment for Carina’s Billan Street Park
As your Councillor, I have been working hard to ensure Carina receives a better level of investment in our parks and public spaces.
Prior to the 2016 Council election, I committed to a major upgrade of Billan Street Park within four years.
