Queensland Police Service - Look to the Stars Acknowledgement PlaquePrint Page 
The plaque acknowledges the Gangalu People the Traditional Owners of the land on which the station stands and is part of the official opening plaque of the new Biloela Police Station which was unveiled on 31 May 2022.
The plaque features the artwork "Look to The Stars." As we look to the stars, the Guiding Constellation lights up the sky, illuminating our way forward through trust, relationships and respect. The artwork incorporates Sir Robert Peel’s nine principles of policing as stars. The artwork was produced by Indigenous artist Jenna Lee from Gilimbaa who worked with a specialist reference group from the QPS to inform the artwork.
"Look to the Stars" was launched by the QPS in May 2018 and serves as a visual reminder of our past, present and future engagements with all Indigenous communities throughout Queensland. Former Commissioner Ian Stewart initiated a Look to the Stars ‘Acknowledgement to Country’ plaque that is gradually being placed at all QPS establishments.
Minister for Police and Corrective Services and Minister for Fire and Emergency Services the Honourable Mark Ryan MP today joined Commissioner Katarina Carroll to officially open the new Biloela Police Station and to launch three police camper trailers.
