Save Yeppoon TAFE – Stop the Secret Plan

PETITION TO THE QUEENSLAND STATE PARLIAMENT

Save Yeppoon TAFE – Stop the Secret Plan

To the Honourable Speaker and Members of the Queensland Legislative Assembly,

We, the undersigned residents of Queensland, oppose the proposed conversion of the Yeppoon TAFE site into an Aboriginal school for troubled and disengaged youth.

The decision has been made without proper community consultation, and the approval of the Queensland Government is still required.

We believe the Yeppoon TAFE site, located beside the Yeppoon High School on Tabone Street, is not an appropriate location for this initiative. A more suitable alternative should be considered in consultation with the community.

    This property backs onto homes and children of all ages catch the bus outside this proposal, this is not the right property to house troubled youth

    A place like this should not be close to a existing high school

    No to wasting more taxpayer money. We have schools that welcome everyone.

    There are services available and opportunities to extend at the Dreamtime Cultural Centre. Utilise what is existing already

    Yeppoon is not where this type of institution needs to be! It should be somewhere where there are no tempting alternatives to attending school. Why treat them by letting them study in beautiful Yeppoon. This is sure to increase youth crime in our town. Sneaky.. very bloody sneaky!

    Totally against this proposal in the central area of town. Surely there are more suitable locations.
