Plans to hand over historic West End police station to community services scrapped
The Queensland government has scrapped plans to convert the historic West End police station into a health and community services hub. The decision follows concerns over inadequate funding and the building's suitability for the intended purpose. The site, which has been vacant since 2021, has now been put up for sale after being transferred to the housing department in early 2022.
- ▪The Queensland government abandoned plans to turn the old police station into a community services hub due to funding issues.
- ▪The site was previously intended for a health and housing clinic with a $10 million federal funding pledge.
- ▪The building has been vacant since police moved to new premises in 2021 and was sold earlier this year.
