The petition of residents of the Division of Noosa draws to the attention of the House our proposal to have our locality name reinstated to best demonstrate the demographics and location of our community. We object to the name change in 2001 as no community consultation was undertaken with the affected residents. A recent survey undertaken by the Peregian West Community Association shows the majority of residents upset with the name change to Weyba Downs. We feel Weyba Down is not connected to us and is a different locality accessed and serviced by another area and are concerned with the confusion this creates. Your petitioners therefore request the House to alter the name of Weyba Downs serviced by Murdering Creek Road only, to Peregian Beach West.
