The petition of the electors of the Division of Cook draws to the attention of the House the: • dilapidated condition of the Idabu pontoon on Thursday Island; • inaccessibility of the facility at medium and low tides; • lack of infrastructure there to cater for the aged and disabled; and • unauthorised use of the pontoon by commercial operators since they are provided with no other suitable moorings. Your petitioners therefore request the House to: • repair the pontoon to a serviceable condition; • dredge the surroundings to allow accessibility at all tides; • modify the design to give access to the aged and disabled; and • erect a sign directing commercial operators away from the pontoon.
