Our children are sleeping in cars - this is the tragic truth that an increasing number of families in Toowoomba face amidst our escalating housing crisis. With limited homes and a bursting population, the need for more housing is not only apparent but also urgent. Yet, the Toowoomba Council continues to deny residential estate approvals, demonstrating a clear favoritism towards specific developers and land-locked developments void of necessary recreational parks. As the Council members enjoy their trips abroad, our children are left to bear the brunt of their inaction.

The urgency of this issue is highlighted by legal facts - as our town's population is increasing faster than the national average, the current housing stock is unable to cope with demand. Despite this, the Toowoomba Council continues to strangle the housing industry by restricting the number of approved residential estates. This stagnation in approvals only exacerbates the housing crisis, further straining those who already struggle to secure a roof over their heads.

The time has come for the Toowoomba Council to be held accountable for the ongoing housing crisis that plagues our town. Our children and families need a solution, not a Council turning a blind eye to the harsh realities of growing homelessness. Sign this petition to demand that the Toowoomba Council take immediate action and commit to resolving the housing shortage. Let's start creating a future where no child is forced to sleep in a car because their family can't afford a home! Sign now and let your voice be heard.
