Queensland citizens draws to the attention of the House the Department of Transport and Main Roads' decision to install solar panels on land adjoining the Oxenford Tavern rather than installing a slip lane to ease congestion and allow motorists easier access to the M1 motorway.

Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to: can the Minister please intervene and stop installation of the solar panels at exit 57 of the M1 Pacific Motorway and install a slip lane on this land to ease traffic congestion at the intersection. Additionally, if the Department is legally committed to purchase panels, we call on the Minister to re-direct their deployment to the nearest Department of Education school, Oxenford State School, to help relieve their electricity cost burden.
