500 more car parks and connectivity at Hope Island Train Station

Queensland residents draws to the attention of the House the need for more car parking and connectivity at the Hope Island Train Station.
The Hope Island Train Station is an eagerly anticipated project that promises to enhance transportation accessibility for our local community. However, we have identified some critical points that need to be addressed.
The current proposal for approximately 179 car parks is far from sufficient. Similar stations in neighbouring areas are equipped with significantly higher parking capacities. We firmly believe that the provision of only 179 car parks will inevitably lead to congestion in nearby areas, such as the River Links and Monterey Keys neighbouring estates, as commuters resort to street parking.
We recognise the importance of providing accessible transportation options for all members of our community, especially our older demographic. We strongly urge the implementation of an on-demand shuttle bus service that will provide a reliable and efficient way to access the train station and its services.
Preserving the remaining area of Mangrove Jack Park as a valuable community space is of utmost importance, and we ask that its coexistence with the station's infrastructure be carefully considered during the planning process.
Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to:
A) increase the parking capacity at Hope Island Train Station by 500 carparks;
B) implement an on-demand shuttle bus service that will provide a reliable and efficient way to access the train station; and
C) preserve the remaining area of Mangrove Jack Park.
