Paper Petition

The petition of residents of Queensland draws to the attention of the House the concerns of the dealings by the State Government with the property known as Tripcony/Hibiscus Caravan Park site and located at the corner Park Place, Bowman Road and Bulcock Street, Caloundra. Of particular concern is: the direction from the minister for Local Government and Planning to Caloundra City Council in relation to the draft Caloundra City Plan; advice from the State Government and the possibility of the property being given freehold status.

Your petitioners therefore request the House to: not approve the request to Freehold the said property in anyway, shape or form; take all appropriate steps to change the ministerial direction upon Caloundra City Council’s Draft City Plan and formulate a new ministerial directive in conjunction with Caloundra residents, Caloundra City Council and the State Government to develop a united strategic direction for the future of the site; take all appropriate steps to return the said property back under the trusteeship of Caloundra City Council; not allow any commercial, state, local or public interest being able to convert the property to Freehold land, now or in the future.
