EIS RELEASED - URGENT RESPONSE NEEDED!
With the recent release of the State Government’s 1600 page Environmental Impact Study (EIS) into the Traveston Crossing Dam - outrageous stuff! - a new wave of protest is swelling on the Fraser Coast. If you would like to view the Executive Summary of the report, ourgreatsandy has a pdf version available. If you'd like a copy, send us an email.
On Thursday, (October 25) a meeting was held in Maryborough to canvas for expressions of interest in forming a Lower Mary/Great Sandy Strait association, with the initial aim of bringing together campaign efforts from all lower Mary communities, including Maryborough, Hervey Bay, Tiaro, and villages down the Strait.
Now, a public meeting has been called to form an official committee.
When: Wednesday, October 31st , 7.30pm start
Where: Maryborough Neighbourhood Centre – Ellena Street
It is short notice, but the situation is urgent. Members of the public only have until December 3 (that's only five weeks) to make submissions in response to the EIS. It is vital that residents of Fraser Coast communities express their concerns about the dam to the Federal Government.
Hope to see you at the meeting!
