Queensland residents draws to the attention of the House the condition of the causeway on the eastern side of Harrisville on Warrill View Peak Crossing Road. During the past few years, the causeway has flooded many times, closing the road to Harrisville. The recent wet weather in Southeast Queensland has resulted in water continuing to flow across the causeway, causing pooling and further degradation of the road surface.

This section of Warrill View Peak Crossing Road and the causeway is utilised not only by residents but also by a large number of school buses, farm vehicles, motorists accessing schools, tourist attractions and working at one of the many small businesses in Harrisville. This road is also a vital connection between Harrisville and Ipswich.

Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to do all in its power to ensure an urgent upgrading of the causeway on Warrill View Peak Crossing Road on the entrance to Harrisville to improve flood immunity and allow access to Harrisville during inclement weather.
