A âhugeâ parking issue in Airlie Beach has prompted a Whitsunday councillor to urge council staff to take action and prevent a life being lost.
Division 1 councillor Jan Clifford asked for an update on the installation of no-standing signs and yellow line markings on Broadwater Ave at the most recent council meeting.
Cr Clifford labelled the current situation âdangerousâ as cars parked on the road were overcrowding the narrow stretch.
She was concerned about the stretch between Coral Sea Marina and the Broadwater car park.
âCouncillor (Al) Grundy and I drove around there ⦠I had to cross the double white lines because of cars parked there with trailers hanging out,â Cr Clifford said.
