The Petition of citizens of Queensland draws to the attention of the House: Concerned residents of the Toowoomba, Cambooya, Gatton, Clifton, Pittsworth and Millmerran Shires state their strong objections to Powerlink's proposed high voltage powerline from Millmerran to Middle Ridge. The significant concerns held by residents living under, adjacent and near to the designated corridor are as follows; a) In 1998 a near identical line was rejected after consultation and residents have made extensive development decisions based on the assurance of the 1998 decision, b) due to large areas in and surrounding the corridor being densely populated rural residential there will be many people affected, c) a large proportion of the rural areas in the corridor are prime farming lands requiring farm management practices that would be restricted by these powerlines, which will lead to changes to land usage and income, d) property values will be affected, e) the health factors associated with overhead high voltage powerlines remains unresolved, f) very little notice has been given to affected residents and community representatives. The petitioners therefore request the House to: a) abandon the current Powerlink transmission corridor proposal through these areas, b) require Powerlink to extensively investigate the number of other possible alternative routes for the powerline, c) ensure that costs and ease of construction are not the sole determining factors in establishing this powerline and that proper consideration is given to potential social, environmental, land usage, aesthetic and health impacts.
