Queensland Residents draws to the attention of the House that we, the
undersigned, declare that we are opposed to the mining of gold and any
other mineral, undertaken above and below the surface of land as
designated by the present mining lease No. 50124 and the mining lease
application No. 50203 taken out by Papillon Mining and Exploration Pty
Ltd. We are also opposed to any future mining activities taking place in
the North Arm area. We call upon the House to give due diligence to the
detrimental effects of mining above or below this freehold rural
residential area of the Sunshine Coast.

Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to stop all present mining
activities and reject the mining lease application No. 50203 and further
to stop any future mining of minerals in the North Arm district.

Request the House to stop all present
mining activities and reject the mining lease
application No. 50203 and further
to stop any future mining of minerals in the
North Arm district.
