The petition of citizens of Queensland draws to the attention of the House to the fact that Townsville City Council will make a profit of over $50 million on water and wastewater provision in Townsville.

 

Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to direct the Townsville City Council to redirect the profits back to the residents of Townsville in the form of reduced rates or subsidies for water users.
