What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

A council in Tasmania is facing criticism regarding a $52,500 expenditure on road markings in Kingston Beach, 16km south of Hobart. The markings, which were blue wave patterns on Beach Road, were part of a federally funded project intended to improve pedestrian safety. A candidate for councillor and deputy mayor, Will Perry, criticized the council, stating the project was a 'complete waste' of public money. Separately, Waratah-Wynyard mayor Mary Duniam announced she will retire from local government after the October elections, concluding a 21-year tenure since her first election in 2005.
