PETITION FOR A STATE HIGH SCHOOL WEST OF THE M1

To: The Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland
The petition of residents of the Division of Mudgeeraba draws to the attention of the House the ongoing neglect and poor planning by the Queensland Government to adequately recognise education needs of residents living west of the M1.

Your petitioners therefore request the House to commit to a feasibility study for a new State High School west of the M1 in the Mudgeeraba electorate, and provide the documentation which the Government is relying upon to justify that the planning of new education facilities is not required for “at least another 20 years.”

A Petition is a formal request signed by at least one person and placed before the Parliament with the object of persuading the Parliament to take some particular action.
