Moreton Bay City Council staff now have security guards when maintaining some of the region’s public areas.
Council Operations and Safety personnel have also been told to keep 50m away from people experiencing homelessness and those camping illegally.
The safety moves, which began this week, come as complaints about people experiencing homelessness and camping illegally have doubled in the last 12 months.
“These interactions include escalating violence, aggression and life-threatening situations towards Council staff and members of the public,” a Council spokesperson said.
“City of Moreton Bay has zero tolerance on aggression and violence towards its employees, and this measure complies with a recent Workplace Health and Safety Queensland order.
