"At our wits' end": Why Moreton Bay is turning a local park into a free homeless camp

from 4BC Mornings · host 4BC

In response to an escalating homelessness crisis, Moreton Bay City Council has voted to convert Wylie Park in Petrie into a trial 60-site free campsite equipped with CCTV, registration protocols, and support services. While Mayor Peter Flannery defended the move as a necessary measure to clear local parks, Gary Hardgrave on 4BC Mornings criticised state and federal housing delays, comparing Australia's sluggish response to Canadian housing initiatives, as both called for immediate crisis accommodation before the 2032 Olympics.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
