A remote Indigenous community about two hours drive from Rockhampton has introduced nightly curfews for youths, as they say they are running out of options to control youth crime.
The curfew in the central Queensland community of Woorabinda is from 8:30pm every night and is being enforced by groups of local volunteers.
Mayor of Woorabinda Aboriginal Shire Council, Cheyne Wilkie said the council brought the curfew in as a result of community concerns, including cars being stolen from elders, damaged properties and a recent spate of violent break-ins.
