Paper Petition

The petition of the Electors of the Division of Capalaba draws to the
attention of the House, our opposition to the proposal to build an
Ambulance Station on the corner of Randall Rd and Old Cleveland Road
East, Birkdale (one of 5 proposed sites). The reasons include the
following: concerns that the area around Birkdale South State School will
become hazardous for commuting families and students. Our Preschool
operates a half day program and families cross at the Old Cleveland Road
East pedestrian crossing at all times of the day; concerns that the
Barron Road Roundabout, which is already a dangerous roundabout due to
poor visibility, will become even more so with the addition of an
Ambulance thoroughfare. The road is also a single lane carriageway;
concerns about the noise impact on the neighbouring area and to the
School.

Your petitioners therefore request the House to not build the proposed
Ambulance Station on the corner of Randall Road and Old Cleveland Road
East Birkdale.
