Restoring the natural integrity of Lake McKenzie (Boorangoora) Fraser Island

Queensland citizens draws to the attention of the House that the beach of Lake McKenzie (Boorangoora) is one of Fraser Island's most iconic attractions. An artificial plantation or garden has now been established on the beach in a misguided attempt at beautification. The artificial matting and an unsightly fence installed to protect the garden seriously detracts from the natural beauty of this site, diminishing the lake's World Heritage values, its amenity and its natural integrity. The plantation is also interrupting the natural process that shaped the lake and environs.
Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to restore the Lake McKenzie (Boorangoora) beach to its natural state by removing the artificial plantation, the matting covering the beach and the unsightly fence to allow the natural forces that created the beach and the lunette be allowed to operate without further man-made interference.
