The petition of electors of the Divisions of Capalaba, Redlands, Cleveland draws to the attention of the House - Redland Shire residents and ratepayers believe we are uniquely different to other local authorities and in current proposals by the Qld Water Commission and the Qld State Government this has not been adequately recognised. We should not be required to pay for water security we have already paid for. Your petitioners therefore request the House to consider that the proposed concessions of delayed connection to Redlands water supply does not fairly compensate Redlands community for their initial $27 million (in historic value terms) of water security already paid for at the expense of other services and infrastructure.
