FIVE teenagers have been treated for alcohol-related injuries and police are launching an investigation after a party promoted on Facebook went wrong last night.

Up to 1000 people converged on Tamborine Memorial Hall at Mount Tamborine on the Gold Coast from 7pm for a party dubbed 'Yo-Yo's Round 2'.

An ambulance spokeswoman confirmed crews were called to the hall for five different alcohol related injuries and two people, including an 18-year-old, were transported to Logan hospital for precautionary reasons.

Channel Nine reported two of the five cases were 14-year-olds.

The Coomera police are conducting follow-up investigations after they were called to the party at around 7.45pm.

Organisers of the party said they legally rented the hall and security were on hand, however police described the mood of the crowd as 'very aggressive' and reported the security was not adequate, with several fights breaking out throughout the night.

Both uniformed and plain clothes police from North Tamborine, Beaudesert, Coomera, Jimboomba, Nerang and the dog squad were needed to control the situation.

Buses and private transport were used to transport party-goers to the site but there was inadequate transport to get those in attendance off the mountain.

Police monitored the situation until buses could be organised to transport them away from the scene.

The party was not registered with the police, and both the owners of the hall and the organisers of the party will be investigated.

The party was promoted on a Facebook site called 'Brisbane Parties', which is described as the 'official' page to post and promote open events and house parties in the Brisbane area.
