Mayor Leah Anderson will propose a motion to write to local MP Kate Washington and the Transport Minister for a review. The council aims to balance tourism benefits with safety, potentially implementing speed limits and exclusion zones. Environmental issues include reports of injured turtles and displaced dolphins.
