Queensland citizens draws to the attention of the House Translink's proposed changes to the 609 bus service route servicing Caloundra, Golden Beach and Pelican Waters, due to come into effect by late 2013.  The changes include bypassing Oxley Street and Golden Beach Esplanade (one of the busiest and centrally located strips in the area), which residents, many elderly, feel will leave them stranded.

 

Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to review the proposed changes to the 609 bus service route, carry-out further consultation with Caloundra residents and stakeholders, and reinstate Golden Beach Esplanade as a bus stop along this route.
