The new Beaudesert Police Station has officially been opened by Minister for Police and Corrective Services Mark Ryan MP joining Commissioner Katarina Carroll.
The is how the opening of the facility unfolded.
The $7.1 million station replaces the original station, first opened in 1981, in Anna Street, Beaudesert.
Commissioner Carroll says this station was about future planning for the community and the Service.
“As the local population has grown, so has the need for greater police presence and resources in the area,” Commissioner Carroll says.
“This new replacement facility enables Beaudesert Police to meet the current policing requirements of the community and allows for future expansion as the need arises.
“This tight-knit and diverse community now has access to a new and modern facility, equipped with the resources their local police need so they can be best placed to service the growing needs of the area.
“I look forward to seeing the positive impact of this new station and wish all the officers well in settling in and servicing the community within the district.”
Minister Ryan says the transformation of the station in Anna Street was fantastic to see.
“It’s an amazing new facility for the area and for the local police,” Minister Ryan says.
“I know that this newly built station will enable officers to continue the high standard and dedicated policing the community of Beaudesert and surrounds has seen so far, with values placed on community and crime prevention.”
