Road Upgrade Threatens Zeke's Health
Description
A family in Falls Creek is fighting to protect their son Zeke’s health as a proposed road upgrade threatens to bring a noisy, dusty service road dangerously close to their specially adapted home. Zeke, who lives with epilepsy and respiratory issues, depends on a stable, quiet environment — one his parents have painstakingly built with lifts, widened doors, and constant care. Doctors warn the new road could trigger seizures and worsen his breathing. The family questions the road’s necessity in this low-traffic area and says compensation doesn’t cover their unique modifications. They’re demanding a redesign — and the Roads Minister has promised to look into it as feedback closes June 19.
