Paper Petition

The petition of citizens of Queensland draws to the attention of the House the proposed sale of State Government land and the inappropriate and extensive multi-level residential and commercial development planned for the reclaimed Scarborough Boat Harbour Precinct Breakwater as prepared by Buckley Vann for and on behalf of the Port of Brisbane Corporation.

Your petitioners therefore request the House not approve any residential or multi-level development and halts the sale of the reclaimed Scarborough Boat Harbour Precinct Breakwater. We request that this land be given as enduring parkland for the people. We also request that the House protect the existing mangrove stand on the south western edge of the working harbour area from any extensions proposed for that area. We request that this mangrove stand and the adjoining reclaimed foreshore be protected and given to the people as enduring parkland.
