Housing for emergency workers

Queensland Police and emergency services require housing assistance in Noosa.

Noosa’s Independent MP Sandy Bolton has joined with Queensland Police to try and seek accommodation for our first responders.

A spokesperson for Queensland Police told Noosa Today: “The Queensland Police Service remains committed to building a healthy and safe workforce, with the wellbeing of our members and their families being a key priority.”

“The Sunshine Coast District will continue to support members seeking suitable accommodation options, to ensure the district remains responsive to the needs of the Noosa community through delivery of high-quality policing services.”

Ms Bolton wrote on her Facebook page: “Accommodation is needed for six months whilst permanent housing is secured for them, to ensure our police, paramedics and firefighters are close by where they are needed.”

She was joined by Noosa Police Inspector John Mahony seeking assistance to find options including holiday homes that are empty for much of the year, whether in Noosaville, Pomona, Cooroy, Tewantin and surrounding areas such as Peregian Breeze and Springs, Doonan, Eumundi and Verrierdale.

Anyone with a longer term property who can assist key worker families, please see previous posts about head leasing with one of the community housing providers, via www.facebook.com/share/p/1CufjBqNAR/
