    Re unsealed footpaths - Murrell Reserve Modbury Hts. Please give more detail on where exactly the $87k and $30k is going to be spent. I have walked through this reserve very recently and cannot see where this amount of money should be spent. Re Skate bowl at Bentley Reserve, please advise scope of works for $15k

    KarenK asked almost 6 years ago

    Hi, thanks for your question. In response:

    In relation to the proposed works for Murrell Reserve, Modbury Heights, the existing 870m trail that starts on Kelly Road, heads west along the perimeter of the heavily vegetated forestation and then turns south/east and meanders down the hill towards Murrell Road, is to be surfaced with a recycled asphalt product.

    This work will ensure that the trail is upgraded to a standard that can be easily and safely accessed in all types of weather. The estimated cost of this project is $86,000.

    The other proposed project in Murrell Reserve is the resurfacing of 300m of existing paths around the playground in a recycled asphalt material. The estimated cost of this project is $30,000.

    In relation to the Skate bowl at Bentley Reserve, the $15,000 proposed in the budget is for maintenance and repairs to fix spalling concrete. Spalling is a result of water entering brick, concrete or natural stone and forcing the surface to peel, pop out or flake off. In concrete, spalling happens because there is moisture in the concrete.

    With the current crisis in recycling, brought about by china's change in accepting recycling waste, how will this impact on councils proposed recycling budget.

    Disco asked almost 6 years ago

    Hi, thanks for your question, in response: 

    Council’s residential recyclable material is processed by Visy, who are contracted to provide this service until 2021. At this stage, Council does not expect China’s ban on the importation of plastic material for recycling to impact the budget. It should be noted that China's change in accepting recycling waste impacts plastic materials only. 

    The budget for 2018/19 does provide for a $300k uplift in the cost of processing general residential waste (red bin). This increase is attributed to the increase in the State Government’s Solid Waste Levy and the expected increase in the cost of processing this waste.
