Responded By: Hon Mark Bailey MP
TO: The Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland

Queensland Citizens draws to the attention of the House: that the Tully Coastguard has a radio installation co-located with Ergon Energy infrastructure on top of Mount Mackay – east of Tully – but that Ergon Energy now wants $10,000 upfront and an annual fee of more than $10,000, which is beyond the Tully Coastguard’s budget.


 


Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to: require the Minister for Energy to intervene and direct Ergon Energy to withdraw the requirement for the Tully Coastguard to pay to continue to co-locate its radio installation on top of Mount Mackay in recognition of the vital community safety service it provides to all vessels in the Cassowary Coast Region.
