Tablelands Regional Council

TRC has been unreasonable. I bought a piece of land at Herberton only to be told that it was my responsibility, not theirs, to build an accessible road (not driveway) to my property. Since when were residents responsible for works carried out on public road? Plus I had a fall on the rugged terrain in front of the property. Now I have pain in my neck, shoulders and lower back. Will they take care of me when I am disabled as a result of the trip hazards and risks on council land? They tell me there is no money in the budget and have no funds for at least another 30 years for any road works at Herberton. If they have no money and residents have substantially less money , how on Earth will any improvements take place at Herberton. The place is struggling as it is. With low employment, minimal facilities and amenities; people at Herberton has suffered enough. TRC if your role is to support the community and yet you say you can't build a road 20 metres in length then how are you doing your job? Where is all that money going to?

I would like to thank the Staff and Contractors that replaced the footpath out the front of my shop. I cannot praise their inclusiveness, professionalism and concern for my business during this time enough. You were all great. Thank you

Lovely old building
