TO: The Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland

The petition of the citizens of Queensland draws to the attention of the
House the dangerous condition of the Mooloolaba Harbour entrance where an
extreme build up of sand is blocking safe access to Mooloolah River for
commercial operators as well as recreational boaties.

Your petitioners therefore request the House to support the urgent
dredging of the Mooloolah River mouth as well ensure more timely
maintenance dredging is undertaken on an on-going basis to prevent this
occurring again.
