Resolution: Moved by Mayor Teresa Harding:
13.1
Permanent Police Shopfront for Town Square Redbank Plains
Moved by Mayor Teresa Harding:
That Ipswich City Council writes to Minister for Police and Community Safety, the Honourable Mark Ryan MP, and Queensland Police Commissioner Katarina Carroll, for the installation of a permanent Police shopfront at Town Square Redbank Plains.
Councillor Sheila Ireland proposed the following additional recommendation as Recommendation B:
That Council officially write to the Attorney General of Queensland to enact a new law called “Vyleen’s Law”.
This legislation would grant judges the authority to impose stricter sentences on serious youth repeat offenders and that bail conditions be reviewed for those who have previously offended.
By swiftly implementing “Vyleen’s Law” which provides wraparound services and spearheads a national youth crime intervention framework, the Queensland Government can effectively combat youth crime and build safer communities.
The mover agreed to the proposed additional recommendation as Recommendation B.
Councillor Marnie Doyle proposed the following additional sentence as part of the original Recommendation:
Further to this we also request the installation of the mobile police van indefinitely pending the establishment of a permanent facility.
The mover of the original motion agreed to the proposed additional sentence as part of Recommendation A.
Councillor Paul Tully proposed an amendment to Recommendation B by deleting the first paragraph under the Recommendation and adding the following words at the end of the Recommendation:
to implement all relevant initiatives to identify and reduce youth crime in Queensland.
Councillor Sheila Ireland as the mover of Recommendation B requested that the first paragraph remain as part of the motion.
Councillor Tully proposed that the word “also” be included in the first line of the first paragraph.
This legislation would also grant judges the authority to impose stricter sentences on serious youth repeat offenders and that bail conditions be reviewed for those who have previously offended.
The mover of the original motion and the proposed Recommendation B agreed to the proposed amendments.
Deputy Mayor Russell Milligan proposed that the wording “mobile police van” in the second paragraph of the original Recommendation be changed to “mobile police facility”.
The mover of the original motion and the proposed additional motion agreed to the proposed amendment.
Moved by Mayor Teresa Harding:
A. That Ipswich City Council writes to Minister for Police and Community Safety, the Honourable Mark Ryan MP, and Queensland Police Commissioner Katarina Carroll, for the installation of a permanent Police shopfront at Town Square Redbank Plains.
