Hinze Dam Parking.

[rayke1938]

Over one month ago I emailed the Gold Coast Council re parking problems at the Hinze dam.

Today I got a phone call from Laurie the head ranger at Hinze dam.He said he only just got my email.

The bad news is that due to budgetry restraints he is only allowed to perform emergency work only so nothing is going to happen.

I asked him why he just couldnt remove the no parking signs in turning area from old ramps and he said they do not comply with standards so it would be illegal to move them.

Similarly he has no money to grade and clear the track to the western ramp.

He said that there is a meeting of the fish management committee on Wednesday night and he will put the matter to them and as there are elections pending maybe one of the local councilers may be shamed into spending some money in their electorate.

Apart from that all we can do is hope the water level drops.

He said that at the end of this month the Alliance is going to commence construction of the new ramp which will have a large parking area.

Thanks for taking it to them mate, they only need to go down there on a weekend to see that any improvements are justified. Fingers crossed.
