The petition of citizens of Queensland draws to the attention of the
House the proposed sale of State Government land and the inappropriate
and extensive multi-level residential and commercial development planned
for the reclaimed Scarborough Boat Harbour Precinct Breakwater as
prepared by Buckley Vann for and on behalf of the Port of Brisbane
Corporation.

Your petitioners therefore request the House not approve any residential
or multi-level development and halts the sale of the reclaimed
Scarborough Boat Harbour Precinct Breakwater. We request that this land
be given as enduring parkland for the people. We also request that the
House protect the existing mangrove stand on the south western edge of
the working harbour area from any extensions proposed for that area. We
request that this mangrove stand and the adjoining reclaimed foreshore be
protected and given to the people as enduring parkland.
