Paper Petition

The petition of residents of the State of Queensland draws to the attention of the House the totally inadequate provision of policing resources in Tewantin, Noosaville and Noosa Heads by the State Government, leaving Noosa Shire’s ever increasing population without appropriate protection.

Your petitioners therefore request the House to establish a police beat within Tewantin that will operate in conjunction with a fully-manned 24 hour police station at Coolum. Further the petitioners request the House to amend the resource allocation model used by the Queensland Police Service to ensure that policing resources are appropriately allocated to property service areas of high growth and population fluctuations attributable to high levels of tourism.
