LNP’s Green policy for Yerongpilly.

  buildings.
• Reinstate the rainwater tank rebates for homes which were abolished under Labor.
• Develop genuine alternative energy schemes.
• Invest an additional $414 million to improve rail travel.
• Reduce congestion by offering free travel for rail commuters between 6-7 am and 6-7 pm.

Remember the LNP is OPPOSED to the Traveston Crossing Dam

Ms Kneebone said that a secret State Government plan is currently being considered to sell off part of the site to developers and to relocate the TAFE and School.

“The State Labor Government needs to come clean with the community about their plans for the Yeronga educational precinct.”

“To date there has been no broad public consultation. It is outrageous that the State Labor Government is keeping local residents who live in the area in the dark about their plans.”

“The community should have the opportunity to have their say about any plans to sell the site and it future possible uses.”

The site, bounded by Villa St, Park Rd, Yeronga and Oakwood St, Broadmere St Annerley and the rail line, has extensive city views.

Mrs Kneebone said the State Government had failed to invest in new infrastructure for the school over many years, with major work now needed to bring the School’s assets up to modern standards.

“After years of neglect, the State Government is now considering putting this valuable inner city land up for sale to the highest bidder.”

“Our student’s future should not be determined by cash grab from a State Government under financial pressure.”

“The State Government should come clean and engage in an open and transparent discussion with the community about their plans.”

Ms Kneebone said she presented a petition signed by 115 local residents to Ms Fiona Simpson, Shadow Minister for Infrastructure, Main Roads and Transport, to be tabled in Parliament this week.

“The State Labor Government has let local residents down by abolishing this critical stop on the intercity and Beenleigh commuter line.”

“Now more than ever additional services are critical, with tournaments at the State Tennis Centre due to commence in January 2009.”

“With no additional train services being added by the State Government to cope with demand by Tennis Centre patrons, local commuters will be left fighting for a seat in peak periods.”

“No doubt the Premier Anna Bligh and her team will be enjoying their chauffer driven, champagne hospitality during the tennis, leaving local residents to sweat it out on overcrowded trains.”

Ms Kneebone said she would be working closely with Lawrence Springborg and Fiona Simpson to improve services and their reliability for local residents and commuters.
