The petition of the citizens of the State of Queensland draws to the attention of the House the serious problems caused by the Sumner Park Industrial Estate only having one road exit. This results in severe traffic congestion and delays for vehicles exiting the estate onto Sumners Road, and further compounds the traffic problems for residents of that area. This is also a major safety issue should emergency services vehicles need to use the exit at peak times.
Your petitioners therefore request the House to call on the State Government to promptly secure a second exit south east of the Sumner Park Industrial Estate directly onto the Centenary Highway, in co-operation with the Brisbane City Council.
