Regional COVID-19 quarantine facility to be built near Wellcamp Airport in Queensland

The Queensland government is pushing ahead with its own regional dedicated COVID-19 quarantine facility.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk announced on Thursday that Cabinet has approved the project on vacant land owned by Wagner Corporation, just outside Toowoomba, west of Brisbane.

The announcement came as the state recorded two new cases of COVID-19, both in hotel quarantine.

Construction started at the site near Wellcamp Airport on Thursday, with 500 beds to be available by the end of the year and a total capacity of 1,000 by March next year.

Construction firm Wagners first submitted the plan to use its Wellcamp Airport as the landing point for some of the Australians stranded overseas in January.

The financial arrangement between the state government and the Wagner family will be commercial-in-confidence, but the state government has signed a one-year lease, with the option of extending to two or three years.

Travellers could arrive for quarantine by bus

Mr Miles said once the Wellcamp facility was operational, travellers would be taken by bus to the site from Brisbane Airport, if the Commonwealth government decided not to allow flights to land at Wellcamp Airport.

"We currently bus arriving travellers from Brisbane to hotel quarantine accommodation on the Gold and Sunshine Coast, and so that would remain an option to get people here safely," he said.

They have plans to bus people to “wellcamp” if they aren’t permitted to fly there.

And it’s being funded by private investment." Quarantine Camps

They should kidnap the NSW chick and throw her in saltwater up in the Northeast of Australia.

“Paper, please.” and “Your papers are not in order.” will soon be very common phrases down under.

Wouldn’t it be more efficient to use railroad cattle cars?
Also less chance for escapees.

LEPER COLONY, where you can send all of your political prisoners with no due process except a medical determination. Pyschiatric hospitals or re-education camps used to be for that purpose but became too obvious.

Hey, I've got a good idea!

Why doesn't somebody post an Arbeit Macht Frei sign over the front gate so everybody can know what is really going on here?
