The Petition of residents of the Mareeba Shire draw to the attention of the House the planned sell-off of the Mareeba Pre-school and the relocation of the children into the Primary School against the wishes of the community. This pre-school has enjoyed decades of very strong community support including extensive fund-raising.
Your Petitioners therefore request the House to direct this pre-school not be sold off but retained by Education Queensland, and that it continue to be used either as a preschool or some other specialist facility, to the benefit of the children and the community
