A Queensland Supreme Court ruled that Moreton Bay City Council violated human rights during 2025 evictions from public park encampments, finding it unlawfully destroyed tents and personal belongings, including ashes, without consent and failed to provide adequate time to find alternative housing.
Justice Paul Smith emphasized the severe impact on homeless individuals amid a housing crisis, stating temporary shelters qualify as rights-protected housing.
While the court did not block future enforcement of camping bans, it affirmed councils must comply with the Human Rights Act.
