"Flood mitigation rock wall along river."

"Resolve flooding issues especially when considering new developments - not making the problem worse."

"Stop the filling of the floodplain surrounding Chinderah. Increasing levels of land forces water to where it shouldn't be. Major flooding events are expected. Minor flooding is becoming worse."

"Drainage - higher Tweed Bank, deep drainage for increased rainfall and cyclones."

"Appropriate land development uses to deal with flood and drainage. Foreshore development to help mitigate flood."

"All existing stormwater needs to be upgraded in Chinderah. All areas that flow into Chinderah need to stop being overdeveloped."

"Safety of pedestrians and traffic on the corner of Chinderah Bay Drive and Chinderah Road as the traffic situation is very bad."

"Road Management - Roundabout and speed bumps in front of Cubby. Curb guttering along Chinderah Bay Drive (near Shell servo). "

"Less heavy vehicle traffic at early hours of the morning from quarry and waste service."

"Keep large vehicles off Chinderah Bay Drive. They reduce tourism and village amenity."

"Reduce raceway traffic - Phillip Street and Chinderah Bay Drive are dangerous - people drive too fast, too noisily. More speed bumps, roundabouts."

"Noise alleviation all along the bypass route from ski lodge to Chinderah Road overpass."

"Parking improvements around Cubby House café."
