Wyaralong Dam
Eligibility - Queensland citizensPO Box 75
Boonah QLD 4310
This petition of the citizens of Queensland draws to the attention of the House the Government’s proposal to build a dam on the Teviot Brook at Wyaralong, between Boonah and Beaudesert.
Construction of a dam at Wyaralong would have devastating social, economic and environmental costs for the community.
This is not a high rainfall area and a dam in this location would not be a reliable water source. (The closest existing dam, Moogarah, is currently at 6% capacity.) There are much more cost-effective and sustainable alternative options such as recycling.
Your petitioners therefore request the House to not proceed with the construction of a dam at Wyaralong.
No dam at Wyaralong
