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

The Petition of citizens of Queensland draws to the attention of the House: (a) Areas of Crown land situated at Macintosh Park and to the north and south of Narrowneck within the City of Gold Coast are regarded as majestic coastal open space areas; (b) There is considerable public concern that existing vegetation may be removed from these areas in connection with the Gold Coast Indy Race and associated events; (c) Though these areas of Crown land are under the management of Gold Coast City Council, the Government of Queensland has ultimate control of the areas and has the ability to preclude removal of vegetation from them.

Your petitioners therefore request the House to call on the Hon the Minister for Natural Resources and the Hon the Minister for Sport to take all necessary action to prohibit removal of vegetation from these areas and their further degradation and encroachment in connection with the Gold Coast Indy Race and associated events.
