Covid lockdowns
The State Government has eased restrictions on the current lockdown in the 11 LGA areas which includes Rosewood and district.
Police have been enforcing the current restrictions which were put in place to ensure the safety of all Queenslanders during this time.
While no Penalty Infringement Notices were issued by Rosewood Police. There were several calls from members of the public reporting possible breaches of the lockdowns, which were all investigated by police. Rosewood Police were satisfied that most households were able to abide by the lockdown order.

Several people were also directed to return to Rosewood Railway Station and return to their homes after travelling to Rosewood for various reasons via train.
