The petition of citizens of Queensland draws to the attention of the House that there are no shaded car parks m the Department of Housing units situated at May Hooper Lodge 6 West Terrace Caloundra on the Sunshine Coast. This unit complex is solely for elderly residents with disabilities who are required to travel to and from hospitals and dentists and elsewhere on the Sunshine Coast for appointments. These elderly residents are required to get into extremely hot motor vehicles in summer and if it rains they are saturated by the time they get into their vehicles. The residents provide a transport system that would otherwise have to be provided by the Queensland Ambulance Service.

Your petitioners therefore request the Government provide shaded car parks for May Hooper Lodge residents.
