TO: The Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland

Queensland Residents draws to the attention of the House that we, the undersigned, declare that we are opposed to the mining of gold and any other mineral, undertaken above and below the surface of land as designated by the present mining lease No. 50124 and the mining lease application No. 50203 taken out by Papillon Mining and Exploration Pty Ltd. We are also opposed to any future mining activities taking place in the North Arm area. We call upon the House to give due diligence to the detrimental effects of mining above or below this freehold rural residential area of the Sunshine Coast.

Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to stop all present mining activities and reject the mining lease application No. 50203 and further to stop any future mining of minerals in the North Arm district.
