State authorities threaten legal action over council's homeless camp in park

Key points

• A Queensland government agency has threatened legal action against the City of Moreton Bay over its decision to allow homeless people to camp at Wyllie Park in Petrie. Economic Development Queensland issued a show cause notice, giving the council a chance to explain why legal action should not be taken.
• The agency says the park is approved only as green space. Housing Minister Sam O'Connor said the state was not consulted and raised safety concerns about clustering campers.
• Charity worker Beau Haywood said he feared new evictions.
