The petition of electors of the Division of Mulgrave draws to the attention of the House to the inadequacy of public bus services in the southern suburbs of Cairns.
Your petitioners therefore request the House to direct the Department of Transport to undertake a review of bus routes, service times, frequency of service and the provision of disability accessible buses in the Southern Suburbs of Cairns giving particular attention to: (1) the establishment of new routes to unserviced areas such as Forest Gardens, lower White Rock, East Edmonton, Timberlea, Centenary Heights and Hambledon Gardens and (2) the provision of an express bus service from Gordonvale to the City picking up along the Bruce Highway.
