TO: The Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland

The petition of residents of the State of Queensland draws to the
attention of the House the increasing violence and vandalism against
residents and business in Nambour, instigated by youth, vagrants and
other irresponsible persons. This is resulting in recurring expense,
inconvenience and spiralling insurance costs within the Nambour CBD and
environs.

Your petitioners therefore request the House to provide an increased
police presence in the Nambour CBD and establish a 24 hour Police Beat to
target vandalism, theft, violence and disorderly behaviour.
