Marlin Drive Wonga Beach Speed Control Device Survey
Following a traffic survey conducted by Council in August, 2019 on Marlin Drive, between Mossman Daintree Road and Oleander Drive, Council is considering ways to reduce the speed of vehicles in the area and we’d like your feedback to determineย if installing raised platforms is welcomed by the community.
Please complete this 7 question survey, which should take no more than 5 minutes to complete.
If feedback is generally positive, funding will be considered for the 2020-2021 financial year. If a mixed response is recorded, Council, in conjunction with the community, will explore other ways to achieve the desired outcome, which is designed to make Marlin Drive safer for residents.
