The petition of residents of the State of Queensland draws to the attention of the House that in 2010 the Coomera River was made six knots from Paradise Point to Sanctuary Cove, as was Brown's Inlet, Paradise Point Channel, Hope Island Channel, all waters of the Logan River, and the Nerang River in front of Rivage Royale.

These restrictions have placed added pressure on this already constricted passage of water in the Nerang River, between Via Roma and Bermuda Street bridges.

On the Nerang River, between the via Roma and Bermuda Street bridges, speedboats, personal water craft and wakeboats towing skiers, compete for a narrow channel.  It has become a dangerous speedway. It is just a matter of time before we experience a tragic accident.

Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to impose a six knot speed limit on the Nerang River between the Via Roma and Bermuda Street bridges.
