The Petition of residents of the state of Queensland draws to the attention of the house that the road giving access to the Bunya Mountains from Maidenwell has a section that is unsealed.

Your petitioners therefore respectfully request that the House require the Minister of Transport to give his personal emphasis to the importance of having this section sealed for the safety of travelers along this road. Your petitioners further point out that the journey for travelers from coastal areas will be considerably shortened by this sealing thereby saving fuel and reducing traveling time for consumers. With the construction of the Maidenwell Observatory being completed in August there will be a considerable increase in traffic wanting to traverse between the two venues so a speedy response to this petition will be of the utmost importance.
