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.

    No one was consulted or informed about this sale and the senior citizens group that use this facility have been ousted with nowhere suitable to go. I’m sure there are alternatives and funding available for the Indigenous school that isn’t available to other sections of the community.

    This is for community to decide. Absolutely crazy

    Right next to a high school and a main bus stop where children of all ages catch the bus is not a good idea. That is asking for trouble.
