Queensland citizens draws to the attention of the House concerns about the proposed Bruce Highway Western Alternative – Stage 4 Transport Corridor, highlighting its negative impact on homes, livelihoods agriculture, wildlife, First Nations sites, and the environment. We argue that the corridor is poorly designed, environmentally destructive, and does not align with community needs or values. The chosen route fails to address existing development patterns, long term regional growth and threatens the longstanding sense of community. The lack of government consultation and timing is causing unnecessary stress and anxiety.

Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to do all in its power to terminate, with immediate effect, the current corridor route consultation and restart the process with an alternative route that is better suited to long term growth and promotes a true alternative for transportation between Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast.
