To the Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland. The petition of the electors of the Division of Whitsunday draws to the attention of the House that Mackay’s Northern Beaches residents have only a two lane road as their major access road and need the road upgraded to provide for safe access to and from the Northern Beaches. Accidents on this section cause a total shut down of the road.

Your petitioners therefore request the House to upgrade the section of Mackay-Bucasia Road between Eimeo Road turnoff and Mackay-Habana Road turnoff to four lanes by June 2004.
