Charging a fee to drive on
the beach has been talked about for ages and will eventually be introduced. The council first want to upgrade the road to the
third cutting and the cutting itself and then close
the beach between the first and third cuttings to vehicles. Closing that section to vehicles seems a good idea as it is just too dangerous to let
young children play on
the beach over there now, and making all the traffic enter
the beach via the third crossing won't make any difference to people wanting to drive up to the cooloola section to
camp. I don't think charging a fee will make any difference to the number of vehicles using
the beach, even this morning on a very wet weekend every other vehicle driving through
Tewantin seemed to be a 4wd loaded with
camping gear and fishing rods heading up
the beach. Charging a fee is just going to make it too expensive for those of us who just like to nip over for a quick fish after work. ( just my two cents worth )
