Queensland citizens draws to the attention of the House the urgent need for safety upgrades to the intersection of Tin Can Bay and Bayside Road, Cooloola Cove. A turn off lane which does not provide adequate space and time for cars to enter has made the intersection unsafe. For several years the government has hinted at possible upgrades to the intersection to include either traffic lights, signs, or a roundabout with no commitment of funding.

Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to note that an upgrade of the intersection is an urgent priority to provide a proper and safe passage for residents and tourists and request the Minister to ensure immediate inclusion of the upgrade in the works program.
