BYRON SHIRE COUNCIL ORDINARY MEETING 9 MAY 2013 (105) Figure 1: Locality of Jones Road, Yelgun 5 By email, an officer of the NPWS wrote: I am seeking Byron Shire Council support for the closure of Jones Road as shown on the attached map. 10 15 Jones Road is currently not maintained by Byron Shire Council beyond the driveway to Lot 1 DP 394452 (location of proposed locked gate). Beyond this point the road is a boggy, narrow and largely unformed trail to the point where it meets Billinudgel Nature Reserve at a locked gate. Some vehicles are currently accessing this trail despite the poor condition and impacting on the nature reserve. The two gates within the nature reserve are regularly being broken and fences cut to provide access. The pressure for this damage is twofold 20 25 vehicles that traverse Jones Road beyond Lot 1 DP394452 go through very boggy and rough conditions before they get to the locked gate at the nature reserve – there is therefore an incentive to go through or around the gate rather than return the way they have come Gating and signage are recommended to manage this. many vehicles are equipped with GPS which show Jones Road as a through road to Wooyung which it is not. NPWS will be liaising with GIS providers to update the roads layer to show ‘no through access’ through Billinudgel nature reserve 30 35 The remote location of Jones Road at Billinudgel Nature Reserve is also encouraging illegal activity and in particular doof or dance parties within the reserve. It is understood that formal closure may be a protracted issue and it is recommended that gating and signage be installed as an interim measure. Neighbours at the end of Jones Road are supportive of both formal road closure and immediate gating and signage to manage this growing issue. Ordinary Meeting Agenda 09/05/13
