The petition of residents of Tiaro Shire, Division Three draws to the attention of the House the following issues – We are unofficially a part of Cooloola Shire, which has Gympie as its headquarters. The majority of our children travel by bus to schools in Gympie at Primary School level. When the children reach High School they all attend schools in Gympie. Gympie is also our town for all business, banking, shopping and health care. Many people work in Gympie and most of the sporting facilities are there. Your petitioners therefore request the House to take steps to change the boundary to make all of Division Three, Tiaro Shire a part of Cooloola Shire Officially.
