The petition of residents of the State of Queensland draws to the attention of the House their total opposition to the proposed dam on the Mary River at Traveston near Gympie, Queensland as it will decimate the downstream flow of the river, with significant impacts on the Great Sandy Strait environment (a RAMSAR site of international significance) and its fisheries, so threatening the long term sustainability of the Wide Bay fishing and tourism industries. Your petitioners therefore request the House to abandon plans for this dam at Traveston and consider other options.
