The City of Moreton Bay has agreed to close Wyllie Park, a designated homeless camp in Petrie, following threats of legal action by Economic Development Queensland (EDQ). EDQ had issued a show cause notice, labeling the park as 'illegal' due to its location within the Moreton Bay Central Priority Development Area. The council had established the park in August as a free tent camp for homeless individuals. EDQ's demands include halting new registrations and evicting current campers once their registrations expire. Mayor Peter Flannery stated that the council had little choice but to comply with the state government's direction, acknowledging the potential financial burden of a legal battle.
