Queensland residents draws to the attention of the House, the urgent need to upgrade the bus services between Beenleigh Railway Station and Ormeau Railway Station, which includes services throughout the Jacobs ridge and Ormeau Hills area.

The City of Gold Coast has committed $11 million over 5 years to improve the transport options for residents in this area but we are still waiting to hear from the Minister for Transport and Main Roads, regarding the Queensland State governments contribution. 

With the 2022 Queensland State Government Budget due to be brought down on the 21st of June, now is the time to act.

Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to do all in its power to ensure the Department of Transport and Main Roads work with the City of Gold Coast to ensure funding is approved for the upgrade of bus services between Beenleigh Railway Station and Ormeau Railway Station, as a matter of urgency.
