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

The petition of the citizens of Queensland draws to the attention of the House the decision to partially entomb and partially relocate the Heritage listed Sandstone abutments of the Heiner Road Bridge, Heiner Road, North Ipswich. The abutments formed part of the first road over railway crossing to be built in Queensland and we therefore believe that they need to be protected and valued as a significant piece of Australia’s heritage.

Your petitioners therefore request the House to overturn this decision and allow the abutments to remain in situ, in their entirety, without being entombed.
