TO: The Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland
This Petition of the residents of Queensland draws to the attention of the House the cancellation of practical driving tests that were conducted by the Department of Transport in the townships of Malanda, Dimbulah and Mount Molloy. This valuable service was well utilised and allowed young people to do their driving instruction, and take their test, locally. They did not have to take extra time out of their senior school studies. Malanda is a service hub for the whole area, and people from Millaa Millaa, the Maalan, Butchers Creek, Topaz and other locations have to travel far enough to Malanda to become familiar with the streets and traffic obstacles, without having the added distance to Atherton. Your petitioners therefore request the house to ensure driver testing services are restored to the level of service Malanda and district was receiving, that is one-day-a-fortnight testing by a Department of Transport testing officer, operating in Malanda.
