Queensland Police Service - Look to the Stars Acknowledgement PlaquePrint Page

The plaque acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land on which the station stands and is part of the official opening plaque of the new Richmond Police Station which was unveiled on 17 April 2023. 

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 Mark Ryan joined Commissioner Katarina Carroll to officially open the Richmond Police Station today.

Located at 3 Clayton Street, Richmond, the modern police establishment has been designed and fitted out to respond to the growing community needs of the Richmond community and includes watchhouse facilities, officer accommodation for three Queensland Police Service (QPS) members and an internal vehicle bay.

The new station replaced its predecessor on Goldring Street which was originally constructed in 1954.

Catering to Richmond’s population of 1,200 people, the station was built to ensure rural officers are fully equipped to ensure police continue to meet the community’s evolving needs.
