E-petition for your consideration Sign petition at: parliament.qld.gov.au/work-of-assembly/petitions/e-petition?PetNum=2261 The petition of residents of the State of Queensland draws to the attention of the House our objection to the threats made to the motor sporting industry from residents of newer residential developments and their action demanding the closure or severe restrictions being placed on motor sporting facilities in Queensland. As residential development has been allowed near long standing motor sporting facilities, newly arrived residents are pursuing action to restrict the normal recreational use, reduce times of use and the number of days the facility can be used each year due to a number of perceived issues; although these residents willingly moved to the area where the facility is located and in most cases were well aware of the existing facility before purchase. Many of the facilities provided by the motor sporting industry include driver training, off road training for school students and as well as providing a safe area for people of all ages to test their driving skills at speed (supporting a policy of speed on a track and not on a road). Your petitioners therefore request the House to provide protection under Chapter 8A of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 to these important recreational facilities so as to eliminate continual complaints to authorities, along with legal actions, attempting to force the closure or severe and unviable restrictions being placed on motor sporting facilities in Queensland.
