Responded By: Referred Minister
TO: The Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland

The Petition of citizens of Queensland draws to the attention of the
House: (a) Areas of Crown land situated at Macintosh Park and to the
north and south of Narrowneck within the City of Gold Coast are regarded
as majestic coastal open space areas; (b) There is considerable public
concern that existing vegetation may be removed from these areas in
connection with the Gold Coast Indy Race and associated events; (c)
Though these areas of Crown land are under the management of Gold Coast
City Council, the Government of Queensland has ultimate control of the
areas and has the ability to preclude removal of vegetation from them.

Your petitioners therefore request the House to call on the Hon the
Minister for Natural Resources and the Hon the Minister for Sport to take
all necessary action to prohibit removal of vegetation from these areas
and their further degradation and encroachment in connection with the
Gold Coast Indy Race and associated events.
