Speaker 1: to go anywhere, And.

14
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 2: Look we did actually we spoke quite extensively about this

15
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 2: yesterday and we know some of those hotels still aren't

16
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 2: operating at one hundred percent capacity people.

17
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 3: Yes, I the Springs they operate to fifty to seventy

18
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 3: percent capacity because they an't good enough people to clean

19
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 3: the rooms to service rooms.

20
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 2: Now, con tell us a bit about these Lions Street

21
00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 2: upgrades that I'm hearing about.

22
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 3: Well, the Council of the moments actually having a very

23
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 3: very big push to upgrade streets footpaths. We're doing an

24
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 3: investigation of aura of all our footpaths to see in

25
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 3: what condition they are. But also when we get complaints

26
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 3: from people that they've got problems with traffic with speeding,

27
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 3: we have a look at it and then we step

28
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 3: in to actually do the streets more easy for people

29
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 3: to walk from one footpath to the other by reducing

30
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 3: the speed that cars can travel. So now we're doing

31
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 3: a number of traffic management improvements in the line streets

32
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 3: in Ganguri that will help to reduce speeding because that's

33
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 3: the main complaint. The intersection will be modified with the

34
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 3: construction of traffic island and pedestrian refuge, so when you

35
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 3: cross the street you can actually stop in the middle

36
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 3: if you see a car coming, so you don't to

37
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 3: the marathon to get quickly. We're starting this week and

38
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 3: we expect you to take about a week to complete.

39
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 3: This is an ongoing issue. Cape We've got people telling

40
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 3: us that people speeding in suburban streets. You should know

41
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 3: that in suburban streets, and now it's fifty k loves

42
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 3: per hour. I think when you used to be down

43
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 3: the street, it's somebody's kid.

44
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: You's got to be so speeding, so take care.

45
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 3: Sixty kilometers seventy kilos will not take you where you

46
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 3: want to go faster, but it can take you faster

47
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 3: as you think, to a court if you cause an accident.

48
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: Or hit somebody.

49
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 2: Well, speaking of Corn, I've got a message here. It says, Katie,

50
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 2: can you please ask con the speed limit for the

51
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 2: Esperante People use it as a racing strip, as there

52
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 2: are no speed signs confirming what you should be doing.

53
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 3: If there's no speed sign, it's fifty kilometers per hours.

54
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 3: That's what it says, fifty k per hour unless otherwise

55
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 3: indicated by speed signs. I know the esplans are very

56
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 3: straight street, a lot of people coming down, you know,

57
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 3: very very fast. Don't forget, don't forget. This is a

58
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 3: tourist area. People walk out of the hotels trying to

59
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 3: cross the road. So be very very careful, extra careful.

60
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: Well in doubt.

61
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 2: Cost low, yeah, right, Well, particularly along there, you know

62
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 2: there's pedestrians everywhere. You know, there's a kid's playground there.

63
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 2: Try to slow down and make sure that everyone stays safe.

64
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 4: Corn.

65
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 2: Another message, this one from Trevor, a question asking Hi, Katie,

66
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 2: can you please ask on why people riding e scooters

67
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 2: are not being fined for not wearing helmets and other

68
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 2: breeches and how many have been fined to date.

69
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 3: Well, if you ride an Inscuda in a footpath, you

70
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 3: don't have to wear helmets.

71
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: It's only when you ride on the street. But apparently

72
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: you can't ride on the street it's illegal.

73
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 3: So if you can only cross the road, so you

74
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 3: can't go down Sminis Street with it's coda, that's actually

75
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 3: the police will stop you and probably can reach your fine.

76
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: The council cannot find them.

77
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 3: If you're actually not wearing a helmet in the footpath,

78
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 3: it's not illegal.

79
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: It's actually some bikes.

80
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 3: I've seen some bikes in Nightcliff coming down thirty kilometers

81
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 3: an hour and I have to yell at them. That's

82
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 3: only twenty kilometers per hour allied in footpaths.

83
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: It's a sare footpath for pedestrian and bike riders. Think

84
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:49,119
Speaker 1: about it.

85
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 3: When bike riders complain about misbehaving on the road, please

86
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 3: do behave yourself when you're actually riding on a sare path,

87
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 3: do you reckon?

88
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 2: We'd see lotless issues. So if people actually just wore

89
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 2: their helmets and the company.

90
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 3: Starts posing fines if you if you don't use a helmet,

91
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 3: you pay more. If you actually do the wrong things,

92
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 3: you pay more. I'm aware that the company has banned

93
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 3: people from using their scooters because you have to use

94
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 3: your phone. So now you use your phone, people know

95
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 3: who you are and they can actually put a stop

96
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 3: on you're using the scooters.

97
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 4: Oh so what if I've done what are they getting there?

98
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: They bridge the scooters if they don't leave them where

99
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: they're supposed to do. If they find them that just

100
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 1: throw down the bushes or something like that. Repeat it

101
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: offenders not wearing helmets, things like that. The company can

102
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: actually put a lot on you enough, and Kate, you

103
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 1: can't write sCOD it if you don't do there.

104
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 4: I think fair enough.

105
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: Now, I think it's fair enough.

106
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so now. Con you've got a council

107
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 2: meeting tonight. What's on the agenda.

108
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 1: It's very easy today. There's some of the issues as

109
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 1: the run of the mill. Nothing exciting. It's not the usual.

110
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 3: Some things you know very well that we talk about

111
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 3: them for weeks and weeks and weeks, but today we

112
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 3: just talk about the use of things, mainly administer of things,

113
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 3: which is really really good sometimes because we don't have

114
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 3: to stay until eleven o'clock at night.

115
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 2: Corn, everyone's excited about you being on this morning. Someone

116
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 2: else's ask Corn, can you if are you able to

117
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 2: keep the grass green at east Point and cut back

118
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 2: the trees over the fence line to view the sunset

119
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 2: better east Point? Yeah?

120
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 4: It must be all right at the top there at

121
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 4: east Point. I reckon.

122
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: Now, some of these.

123
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 3: Trees, we can cut them. There's no promotare but someway

124
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 3: we don't the tree massacre. We do the same thing

125
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 3: we did in the astronaut. We cut the trees, especially

126
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 3: invasive species and species that actually can cause a problem.

127
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 3: The other people were reluctant of cutting the trees. Is

128
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 3: some of these trees holding the coastline together. The root

129
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 3: system is actually buying the soil. And probably if you

130
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 3: go to night if you see a little single tree

131
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 3: hanging for dear live but it holds together that piece

132
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 3: of land. So I'm very lucky to cut, you know,

133
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 3: wholesale trees, but certainly we close them. The other thing

134
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 3: with grass, think about how much water we have to

135
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 3: use the dry sism to keep some of the grass green.

136
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 3: We keep grass green and water we need to. Fortunately

137
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,919
Speaker 3: and thankfully some of these crash might dry out in

138
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 3: the dry season and with the first rain comes back

139
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 3: green and we have to morow every day.

140
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 1: We try to keep areas of high traffic.

141
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 3: An area where kids and families use green as much

142
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 3: as possible.

143
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 1: Others will let nature take it course.

144
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 2: Corn, we are going to have to get ready to

145
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 2: wrap up. But the Young Territory Author Awards are they currently?

146
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 2: Are you calling phenomenations at the moment?

147
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 1: Kate?

148
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 3: This is an event that blows me away. Every year,

149
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 3: were calling all young authors, and I'm talking about eight

150
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 3: and under, nine to twelve, thirteen to fifteen, and sixteen

151
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 3: to eighty submit their work to be assessed and we

152
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 3: give awards. Now, I've written stories written by twelve years

153
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 3: old that blew me away. I cannot believe that a

154
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 3: person twelve years old, we have this imagination and this

155
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 3: insight in life, that would sit down and write such

156
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 3: a beautiful story. Some of these stories I think that

157
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 3: some American writers or Australian writers would love to be

158
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 3: able to write and.

159
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: Because they are so good.

169
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: Corn.

170
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 2: One very quick last question from a listener, Katie. Can

171
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 2: you ask Corn why is the parking really hard to

172
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 2: navigate around the Mindle markets. It's too tight to reverse

173
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 2: out of the parks and pass other cars.

174
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: Well, we don't manage this one.

175
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 3: It's actually managed by the markets themselves, something that actually

176
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 3: the markets would take control of.

177
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't just pack everything there.

178
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 3: You have to leave space for people to open their doors,

179
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 3: You have to leave space for people to reverse or leave.

180
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 3: But certainly will bring that to the attention of the

181
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 3: market it operators to see how it can be improved.

182
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,360
