Stop the amalgamation of Thuringowa city with Townsville
Published by Gav Weston on Apr 26, 2007
Target: local politician's and Queensland Government
Region: Australia
Background (Preamble):
Queensland Premier, Peter Beattie is trying to force Thuringowa city to amalgamate with Townsville, both mayors are against this idea.
Thuringowa is one of the fastest growing cities and has won many awards, the residents of Thuringowa feel that it would be unfair for Thuringowa to be handed over to Townsville in this way as it will provide Townsville with free assets that Thuringowa city built and would also give Townsville the large cost to change over all the street signs, rates, Wheelie bins etc.
The amalgamation would not benefit the Twin cities in any way and needs to be left as it is.
