Last week was Queensland Road Safety Week. Bribie Island Police launched the week with a pop-up educational stand on Monday, August 27 at Bribie Island Shopping Centre with the assistance of the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) and Crime Stoppers Volunteers. Bribie island had an additional focus relevant to our local demographic and needs, namely mature aged pedestrian engagement.
Reusable shopping bags with printed road safety messages were handed to shoppers to ensure the road safety messages remained with them and as a continued reminder to all to stay safe on Queensland roads Funding for the initiative was assisted by our local charity group, Busy Fingers, 38 Cotterill Ave Bongaree. Bribie Police and the community would like to express our thanks for their support.
