Be the change - Your say Snowy Monaro

Winter street enhancement in Jindabyne

Enhance the Kosciuszko Road entrance coming into town (by the church), through town along with Banjo Patterson Park with a mass display of fairy lights entwined through the trees to enhance the winter atmosphere.

I would ban all motor driven water craft and free camping within 100 metres of the intakes to Jindabyne and Berridales town water supply.

The Seista Villa bay at East Jindabyne was a pristine example of a balanced community and service infrastructure water collection facility. Now one development is able to essentially control the bays future. With advertising and mowing encouraging vehicles and boat access to this bay,it won't be long before the towns water supply point is used as a mooring. The writer has witnessed fishing boats tied to our water intakes and chemical toilets from free campers being emptied within fifty metres of the water inlets. The bay is silting up as the poor streams feeding the bay have moved from free flow natural water courses to urban effected drainage creeks. Leadership is required in East Jindabyne that has a constructive and holistic community focus for appropriate long term vision and infrastructure management.

All main roads through CBDs in The Snowy Monaro to be 30kmh

Last week I watched a child run out on Maybe Street Bombala as a Truck barrelled down the street, the resulting heavy braking, noise, dust etc from the near miss was frightening, Maybe Street is a thouroughfare for Trucks and Cars but is also a shopping precinct, kids get off busses and elderly walk very slowly accross the road, 30kmh signs need to be erected and police need to be visible.

Community Funded Power Project

Using the knowledge and capability within the region promote the investigation into a renewable energy power plant. The project aim is to to supply power the the community with the objective of reducing the cost of power. The project gains efficiency by providing economy of scale.

Add a set of lights to the CBD

I took my children shopping today and had trouble crossing the road in the CBD. A set of lights could provide a safe way to cross the street.

Build an aged care facility on the Anglican Church site in Jindabyne

It has the perfect location, next to medical centre, ambulance and police. Large block. Anglicare do aged care very well.

Ice-skating rink with an adjoining heated pool in Cooma. And a team in the Australian national ice hockey league

Car Parking

More disabled parking and mothers with pram parking should be introduced

Jindabyne Skatepark upgrade

Jindabyne skatepark is a great place for the regions youth and others to enjoy as well as tourists The park is getting old and does not have enough space (especially in winter) or beginner areas. An upgrade would not only be enjoyed by local residents and encourage more kids to engage in outdoor activities around town but would also bring more tourists to the town.

Provide pedestrian access to Lake Jindabyne every 100m along all residential developments on its foreshore.
