Decision to deploy Queensland Police Service widely praised by students and community alike as parking offences soar

Has Christmas come early? Yesterday, the deployment of the Queensland Police Service into the College’s carparks and surrounding streets was announced. The decision received immediate praise, particularly amid the rising rates of petty crime in Brisbane.

This decision followed a deluge of complaints about the state of the College’s car park. The daily chorus of intercom gripes about student parking incompetence was just the tip of the iceberg. Local residents, driven to the brink, have written stern letters to the College Board.

The Wetlands Post exclusively interviewed Carl Park, 51, renowned carpark reviewer and self-proclaimed parking offence vigilante. When asked about the state of the College’s streets, he replied: “Completely appalling. Streetlights falling over, cracked roads, and potholes. No doubt a consequence of allowing students to park here. Of course, I had to warn my YouTube subscribers to avoid these parking spots the moment I saw them.”

The community has wasted no time in cheering the move.

“I’ve always felt like my house was vulnerable to break-and-entry until now,” reflected a single mother of three and neighbour of the College. “But thanks to the traffic patrols in the College’s car parks and streets, my children and I can sleep soundly knowing that those dreaded students will never park over my driveway again.”

The Wetlands Post confidently predicts this bold move will slash parking offences around the College and serve as an inspiration for schools across Australia.
