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

The petition of residents of the State of Queensland draws to the attention of the House the Queensland Supreme Court recently ruled in favour of Fox Coal Resources' application to overturn the decision not to grant Mineral Development License Application MDL3040. This MDL covers prime farming and residential land. We hold serious concerns it could threaten one of Australia’s largest food producing areas, underground aquifers and the pristine environment. It is our belief this MDL has no place in the Burnett considering the risks, potential negative impacts, and community concerns.

Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to do everything in its power to prevent MDL 3040 from commencing in the Burnett Electorate.
