The petition of residents of the State of Queensland Draws to the attention of the House affected and potentially affected landholders of Bracewell, East End, Cedar Vale and Hut Creek within the Mt Larcom District call for recognition of their severely depleted surface and underground water (as determined by the Water Monitoring Program that has operated for 30 years as an attachment to the Cement Australia Limited mining leases.) Your petitioners therefore request the House to support a district remedy in the form of a grout curtain close to the Cement Australia East End open cut mine and subsequent pump back of good quality water under recharge conditions to the Wallaby Lane injection site.
