Beerwah Station Hours
Just a reminder that Beerwah Station is manned 24 hours a day 7 days a week 365 days a year by police, if you need police assistance, please call 131 444 or in an emergency 000.
The counter is open for general enquiries from 8am to 4pm when our administration staff are rostered, with closures on public holidays as per usual business arrangements.
Holiday Home and Vehicle Security
It’s that time of year when many of us are planning to get away for a bit of a break, this makes it a great time to review your home security. Ensure that all doors and windows can be locked securely even small windows. If possible get a neighbour to collect mail and take bins in if you are going to be away from home.
If you have other vehicles such as cars or trailers that will be left at home make sure that they are also properly secured. Don’t leave car keys in obvious places or easy view through windows or doors, offenders regularly break into homes in order to obtain vehicle keys. Trailers are a regular target as they are often left poorly secured and are often easy to disguise once taken.
Number plate theft is still an issue across the district, if you haven’t already collected your non reversible screws from Beerwah Police Station, please drop in during business hours when our administration staff are available. The screws have been supplied for free from Neighbourhood Watch Queensland so come in and get yours.
Road Safety
As always at this time of year road safety is a massive issue. There are so many added risks over the holiday period including the general increase in traffic volume many of which may not be as familiar with the local area. Sudden downpours after extended hot weather can make road surfaces slippery or cause flash flooding.
Make sure your vehicle and particularly your tyres are in a roadworthy condition before heading off on a long road trip and remember it’s better to arrive safely than to overtake that one more car. Be patient and kind to other road users and enjoy your holiday.
Thank you
There are so many people that help make our job better including the great community that we work in. I do have to nominate a few stand outs on behalf of the officers at Beerwah Station though, in no particular order. Thanks to Brian our volunteer in policing who has had so many health issues recently but keeps turning up to chip in where he can, thanks to Norma who brightens our lives every week and thanks to all the people that acknowledge or appreciate us in various small ways throughout the year.
Thank you also to all the businesses that support our Blue Light events from everyone that agrees to have posters and flyers in store to help get the word out to our lovely sponsors who have been with us for so many years including Woolworths Beerwah, Fresh and Save Beerwah, Australia Zoo and the Big Kart Track. Thanks also to our newest supporter Meat @ Landsborough who generously supplied the sausages at our most recent event. They are all so appreciated, and we really couldn’t do it without them.
