STOP THE CUTS: PROTECT OUR STATIONS

Queensland Rail is planning extreme cuts to our local train stations, with some stations to be completely unstaffed & closed after 1 PM during the week and all day on the weekend.

This means school kids will be unsupervised, toilets will be locked for everyone, people with disabilities & older passengers will be left with no help and passengers will be left to fend for themselves against anti-social behaviour.

SIGN OUR PETITION TO STOP THESE CUTS

For 15 months, the North Ipswich Free Shop has stood as a simple, community-run act of dignity, respect and neighbour-to-neighbour care. Attached to the fence at 52 Pine Mountain Road and maintained daily by volunteers, it provides free clothing, free food, books, children’s toys, whitegoods and essentials to anyone in need—no judgement, no shame, no bureaucracy.

Hundreds of local families have relied on the Free Shop through cost-of-living pressure, DV escapes, emergency situations, homelessness, and unexpected hardship. It is monitored, cleaned, organised, and supported by the neighbourhood. It does not obstruct the footpath or road, does not pose safety risks, and is not a “dump site”. It is a community asset.

Despite this, Transport and Main Roads (TMR) has issued a notice to demolish the Free Shop under legislation that does not accurately apply to its purpose or operation. The items are not “waste”, are not abandoned, and do not obstruct the road network. This notice disregards Queensland law and community principles that explicitly support social inclusion, civic participation, and neighbourhood-led initiatives.

1. Halt the demolition order issued by TMR.
2. Formally recognise the North Ipswich Free Shop as a legitimate, resident-led mutual-aid community facility.
3. Protect this space under relevant community development, human rights
