 So good afternoon everybody we're here at South Bank obviously when G20 a year or so ahead of us it's all about planning and preparations and today is about the first start of the official community engagement in relation to the business sector as well as the community in relation to how G20 is going to transpire but how obviously G20 not just as a holiday for the for the southeast but also as the benefits of G20 come to the whole of Brisbane. G20 obviously is a great time to show the the great work the Queensland Police and Emergency Services do within this great state but it's also a great time to showcase the beautiful Brisbane the beautiful Queensland because we've got obviously activities happening with the the financial ministers in Cairns and as well as the top 20 leaders here in Brisbane so it's a great way to showcase a beautiful city particularly here at South Bank where we have a variety of different businesses and I really encourage the community to embrace G20 and taken on board as a time to showcase this particular area as well as the whole of Queensland because we have a great state and we have great opportunities with the coming here of G20 in the future. So Assistant Commissioner, you want to say a few words? Thank you everybody for attending this media conference today. As the Minister mentioned a lot about today is about community engagement which would be an important component of G20. You all know November next year the Leaders Forum will be held at the BCNEC and a part of us getting out here today is basically to tell you how community engagement will work with the residences, the businesses and the community of Brisbane. So we will be using traditional as well as the social media forms of communication and in the next few months and particularly when we take on the presidency in December there will be a lot of community engagement work going around this part of Brisbane in particular. Whilst there will be some restricted areas as we lead into that very very busy week those big areas haven't been declared yet but certainly when those areas are declared we'll be having a community engagement team do not only door knocking going from business to business but they will be have a holding also community forum as well as taking up with the various body corporations to inform businesses, community and residents what will be taking place here. I might pass it on to my deputy shortly but if there's any questions about anything else at the end of this please do ask but on both behalf of the QPS I just want to mention that this is a wonderful opportunity for the Queensland Police Service. This is our largest security operation that the Queensland Police Service will ever deliver. As such we have put an extraordinary amount of resources towards it already and the planning group has been in place already for some eight months. Planning is quite well advanced and also that planning is taking place with not only our state agencies but also the numerous commons agencies that are involved. Although this is a commonwealth event the lead security provider will be the Queensland Police Service for all G20 events held in Queensland. So thank you. Just in relation to the security requirements we just want to make it clear that while the QPS has a key role we're very much in a partnership approach here all three levels of government commwealth state and local government strongly supporting what we're doing. We also have a very strong connection with the business community and there's representatives here from the business community to talk about that relationship. Everyone in the community I'm sure appreciates that this is the biggest peace time security operation potentially in Australia's history and there's going to be necessary for us to have appropriate security in place and that is our commitment. I'm sure everyone who's either a visitor or resident around this area will understand that if there is a tension between security requirements and public amenity and access to this site that those things will necessarily have to be resolved in favour of appropriate security. Thank you. Can I just invite John Aitken from Brisbane Marketing. Firstly just to congratulate the Minister and the Queensland Police Service for taking this you know consultative approach so early in the piece you know obviously there will be suggested some disruption to industry and business but if you put that in the context of what G20 represents we're already out there, there's a market that's already out there with the world mayor marketing Brisbane to the world. We've been doing it with Barack Obama and others as our poster boys saying that G20 has chosen Brisbane and so why doesn't the world wear and a world stage we're actually competing with cities all over the world and for the week of November 1516 in 2014 Brisbane will be the capital of the world. This is our one opportunity to really put Brisbane on the world stage in conjunction with Queensland and get a very very strong message out there we're open for business and so what minimal disruption occurs as a matter of the security requirements and the conferences minimal compared to the enormous opportunities that this event presents. So if you think back 20 years ago we wouldn't have had the infrastructure to be able to do this and I think it's incredibly exciting that the world has chosen Brisbane and I think it's incredibly exciting that we have a very proactive police service and minister who are really going hard to make sure that everybody's included and we can make the most out of this opportunity. What we've also had to do is obviously we've set aside a public holiday leading into that particular area because obviously we have to look at not just the leaders coming here but for an event you know it's anything up to five to six thousand people that will be involved in the whole of the operation of the event and today is part of that as well as getting out in the media and getting it out through the departments is actually getting it out as the sister commissioner said door to door going to businesses and explaining to them exactly what would happen to them on the ground. Do we have a rough idea of just how many homes and businesses will be affected? Look I can get the minor points to get some detail. Just from what I've articulated the outset in terms of planning that the local peak has been a minimum disruption where we've had. Having said that though, having regard to the enormity of the event particularly the week leading into the leader's forum there will be disruption in the immediate area. Whilst we haven't worked out the numbers residents will certainly have access to their residents so there won't be an issue there. We've already met with Southmeek businesses to articulate to them at this early stage what we believe the disruption will be but particularly it will be particularly that week and like I said from the outset it's a minimum disruption but having regards to the event there will be some disruption that way. What is that immediate area? We're talking about around the venue particularly the streets the infrastructure in terms of buses, rail and the roads around the city. Which particular geographic area and postures do you think it's going to be? Well the roads alongside DCEC in particular and around all those businesses to make which we know is Grace Street. On Grace Street there may be some destruction to businesses however we are trying to minimise that. Can you outline what you could fall into that particular area? Are you talking about transport corridors, hospitals? What sort of things are you looking at? Transport corridors are definitely not hospitals they are not within this area as you can appreciate the martyrs further out and so are the other hospitals so certainly they will not be within the restricted area. We will be using a type of a past system for residents to acknowledge that they live in that area so they'll have right of entry and exit from their residents. They will be free to come and go through the day. So do you have an idea of how many people live in this area? Thousands, yes it is, it definitely is. We haven't sat down and worked out the numbers exactly but thousands of people will be affected but we will be meeting with their body corporate to explain exactly how they will be affected but it will be minimum disruption to the residents because they will be unable to access their residents. And what you are always going to imagine is that's the idea of having this long leading because you will get a number of people who are living in residences now that will come and go before the actual events transpires so we have to ensure that we obviously let people know now but also that the people coming into those particular areas as far as body corporates fully understand what will be happening over that time. Can I encourage residents to contact us? Can I encourage residents to please contact the G20 Unit Now Engagement Team? There is a link to the police website already so they can email, phone, they will be updated with any information that we have as we lead towards this.
