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 is the worse idea to have this building turn into an education facility for troubled youth in the middle of Yeppoon.

    I would much rather it turn into a high care nursing home to replace Gus Moore Nursing home which was taken down on the Yeppoon beachfront and never replaced. Huge waiting list for our elderly here on the Capricorn Coast that have contributed to our community over many years and deserve better. Many people are having to go to Rockhampton to get into aged care.
