Queensland residents draws to the attention of the House that the Townsville City Council area be divided into divisions of equal number of registered voters/residents within each division, and only one elected representative for each division.
Your petitioners, therefore request the House to implement the abovementioned divisional system for the Townsville City Council area and this must be in place for the next local government elections to ensure transparency, local representation and direct accountability of elected councillors.
