Increased services and facilities are being championed by the community for the community at Noosa Courthouse.
Amanda Camm, Shadow Minister for the Prevention of Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence joined LNP candidate and former Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart and SunnyKids chief executive officer Kathleen Hope last week at the Noosa Courthouse.
Ms Camm said, “A placed based approach to respond to domestic violence is what communities across Queensland are crying out for.“
“The leadership and collaboration shown by the Noosa community demonstrates their willingness to make a positive impact on family and domestic violence that is growing in prevalence.”
Through Noosa Council, during her term as Mayor, Ms Stewart invited Noosa Police, Sunny Kids, Noosa Zonta Club, Centacare and Uniting Care to collaborate with the council in finding ways of how Noosa Magistrates Court might overcome the scarcity of domestic violence information and support services.
Ms Stewart said, “After three years of hard work and collaboration, I am increasingly confident that we are nearing our goal of increased legal services and supportive environment at Noosa Magistrate’s Court when dealing with domestic and family violence matters.“
“We are committed to ending domestic violence. It is an epidemic that is impacting so many lives. What we have achieved at the Noosa Courthouse is the culmination of hard work by so many in our community and I am proud to have led and championed this idea during my term as Mayor. It is something I am incredibly proud of and will continue to drive going forward.”
Ms Camm said, “When government has failed to act it should only be left to the community to solve – the Noosa community have been forgotten by the Labor Government and it’s great to have a community champion like Clare Stewart who is committed to delivering outcomes for Noosa.”
