TO: The Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland
Queensland residents draws to the attention of the House our request to provide the Redland, Cleveland and Capalaba State Electorates with a 10 year community water reform strategy that:
(1) Combines the four remaining bulk water businesses and their bureaucracies into one;
(2) Allows the State Government debt on functioning water assets to be paid; and
(3) Disbands water retailer/distribution companies and returns the functions to Councils.
Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to respond to this request for a 10 year community water reform strategy in a timely manner and provide a timeframe for the elements of this strategy to be implemented.
