TO: The Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland

Queensland residents draws to the attention of the House the proposed application from Sunshine Coast Council to compulsorily acquire 15 Oval Avenue in Caloundra for the Caloundra Transport Corridor Upgrade (CTCU) Project. The CTCU project does not reflect the Caloundra Centre Masterplan or the needs of the Caloundra Community. A 4-6 lane-road in this area, will increase risk to children, create additional traffic and will cause irreparable destruction to nature and parks in this central area of Caloundra. The community has actively fought the progression of a 4-lane road in this area but is supportive of a smaller corridor that could reduce traffic pressure whilst maintaining a safe and connected community.

Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to do all in its power to cause the refusal of the application for compulsory acquisition for 15 Oval Avenue, Caloundra.
