Inner West police and their UQ Malaysian student association

On February 24, police from the Inner West Crime Prevention Unit were invited by the University Queensland Malaysian Student Association (UQMSA) to be guest speakers during the induction of new Malaysian students enrolling into the University of Queensland (UQ) Campus at St Lucia.
UQMSA is an official and non profit student body based at the UQ St Lucia campus. UQMSA welcome individuals from a diverse range of backgrounds regardless of nationality to join in with their actives. Through their promotion of Malaysian culture via fun filled social and educational activities, UQMSA strive to offer their members a vibrant campus culture and community experience. UQMSA motto is ‘Bring a piece of home to you‘ and a ‘Home away from home‘.
During their presentation police encouraged positive interactions with QPS and promoted the services police could provide to them as international students and residents of Queensland. Other topics covered included property security and personal protective behaviours and strategies to be utilised while on campus, out in the general community and at home.

Police reinforce ‘if it’s flooded, forget it’ message

With heavy rain falling across large parts of the state today, police are urging motorists to drive to conditions and heed the message: if it’s flooded, forget it.
A number of drivers were rescued after proceeding through flooded roads in the Wide Bay area yesterday.
As the rain moves further south, police are warning drivers particularly around the Sunshine Coast, Caboolture and Brisbane areas to slow down, turn their headlights on and increase their stopping distance.
Under severe storms or heavy rain bands, flash flooding can occur very quickly and without any notice – even on roads that you usually travel on without any issues.
Flash flooding can cause significant structural damage to roads, so even if you think it looks safe, you can never be sure exactly what is underneath the water.
No matter what car you drive, no matter what bike you ride, no matter what shoes you wear – if it’s flooded,

Roadworks at Mount Nebo

There is presently substantial roadworks occurring on Mount Nebo Road, Mount Nebo between the Goat Track and Forestry Road. Part of the road has been removed to allow extensive repairs and slippage maintenance to occur.
There is only one lane of traffic open due to these roadworks and the excavations and roadway removal. As a result, there is contra-flow traffic control which is maintained via portable traffic lights.
Over the course of the last week, there have been a number of faults with these portable lights whereby they are either flashing amber at both ends at the same time, or simply not operating at all, which clearly creates a potentially dangerous situation.
Thankfully, motorists have been quick to contact us and we are able to promptly put in place a diversion until the lights can be rephased. We are hoping that over the coming days the contractor responsible for the traffic lights will
