This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of events). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: Seven out of the eight references in this article are to results.ecq.qld.gov.au. You need multiple secondary reliable sources which are in depth and independent of the subject (i.e., not results.ecq.qld.gov.au). TarnishedPath^talk 06:23, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
