To the Gold Coast City Council,

We, the residents of Woody Views Way in Robina, wish to express our significant concerns regarding the safety and accessibility of our street during events at CBUS Stadium, which is situated just 600 meters away.

Our concerns include:

• Unauthorised Parking: Presently, our street is designated as a 2-minute parking area on event days, leading to unauthorised parking by non-residents and causing severe disruptions. The efforts of the Gold Coast City Council Parking Inspector team in issuing fines, while appreciated, are insufficient in curbing the continuous illegal parking that persists on every stadium event day.
• Emergency Access: Our foremost concern revolves around the abundance of vehicles parked illegally, which restricts access for emergency service vehicles. In some instances, the available access space narrows down to as little as 3 meters, endangering the safety of our residents and properties. A fire brigade, ambulance or tow truck would had severe challenges in accessing any residents properties should an emergency occur.
• Reckless Driving: The reckless driving of CBUS Stadium attendees through our street while searching for parking poses a significant risk to our community.
• Traffic Congestion: The congestion that plagues our street on event days often reduces it to barely a single lane in certain sections, leading to traffic jams and numerous near-miss accidents.
• Driveway Blockage: The illegal parking also obstructs our driveways, making it difficult for us to access our own properties.

In light of these concerns, we kindly request that the Gold Coast City Council takes immediate and substantive action to address our safety issues. We urge you to implement measures that restrict access to Woody Views Way on all CBUS Stadium event days. This should involve the inclusion of our street in the overall traffic management plans for such events and the deployment of a traffic controller at the street entry point to ensure access exclusively for Woody Views Way residents.

We are eager to see a resolution to this matter and are open to further discussions if necessary.

Yours sincerely,

The residents of Woody Views Way Robina, Queensland 4226.
