For a city with the population of the Gold Coast we seem to have less services than one would expect in a capital city. This may seem to be an "of course" sort of statement, but given that the population of the Gold Coast is now at about what the Population of Brisbane once was (and perhaps is home to many who work in Brisbane) it seems an oversight.
One of the things which Dick Smith points out in his discussions of population growth is the expansion of need for services such as Police Services.
Perhaps the current spike in armed holdups (and here too)on the Gold Coast is a poignant reminder that such needs are being overlooked in the community?
