A call for action on Nambour Hospital Car Parking

There is a lack of car parking in Nambour in general.  The car parking situation around the hospital though is a hot spot and the hospital staff and the local residents are just fed up.  This issue has been going on for far too long.
Staff should not have to walk to their car in the dark of night - Where is the duty of care?
If I visit a sick loved one, I am not going to leave their bedside just to move my car - Why should I be fined?  Recently, a friend of mine was fined $75 when he visited his mother at the hospital, who is fighting a battle against cancer.  Why cause people anguish when they have more important things to worry about like providing emotional support to those that they care for dearly? The LNP needs to keep their promise.
At the recent state election the LNP were saying that they are the only ones that can solve the parking problem in Nambour.  The LNPs John Connolly lost the battle for the seat of Nicklin though.  Despite this the LNP Government won't be getting a honeymoon period when they first sit in the new parliament later this week.  Indepedent MP Peter Wellington, will be doing everything he can to hold the LNP to their promise.  He has said that he will hold them to account and wants to see action within the first 100 days of the Newman Government. 
MP Peter Wellington has a lot of support in the Nicklin Electorate and outside of his electorate on this issue.  A number of people from across the Sunshine Coast have signed a petition calling for a multi-storey car park to be built.  Among the signatories include several of the former Mayoral candidates for the Sunshine Coast Regional Council, including Warren Blee, Debbie Blumel, Brett Winkler and Michael Bloyce.  At the first sitting of Parliament, Peter Wellington submitted the first of many to come petitions, I suspect.  The first batch had 178 signatures.  Plus on the first sitting day of the new parliuament an epetition wass launched.  The link is http://www.parliament.qld.gov.au/work-of-assembly/petitions/e-petitions  It will be over to the Health Minister, Lawrence Springborg to deliver.

Update - 30/5/12

Peter Wellington MP has submitted more signed petitions today(around 470).  The Sunshine Coast Daily is covering the story in the paper tomorrow.
