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

Queensland residents draws to the attention of the House that the March 2013 poll declared that 76.29% of Kuranda District electors voted NO to the creation of a Mareeba Shire Council by de-amalgamation of the Tablelands Regional Council.

 

Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to allow a local government boundary change that will enable Kuranda District to separate from the Mareeba Shire Council.
