Health Inspector Mr AL F Sprenger reports to Shire Council that the Greenhills Estate site has adequate facilities with two cesspits for workers and no need for a sanitary depot. He notes the Gordonvale depot serves several towns and confirms trenches remain well covered after use while vans are cleaned with disinfectants.
