A man claiming to be from the DPI has been visiting people’s homes unannounced and uninvited and offering unwelcome comments and suggestions about selling their properties to QWIPL.

Some people have been distressed by the man’s behaviour, and had to ask him to leave. He has also been asked to leave the Kandanga Info Centre on at least two occasions for being a nuisance and disturbing the peace.

    * Yesterday (28-6-07) the Federal Department of Environment and Water Resources finished their reconsideration, and stuck by their original decision that the Project is not a controlled action under the EPBC Act.
      This information has not yet been published on the Federal website, but it has been published today by the Qld Co-ordinator General.

Save the Mary River Coordinating Group chairman Kevin Ingersole will head up the four meetings to be held in the Mary Valley next month.

The meetings would collect raw data on the impact that the proposed dam has had, and is having on the individuals and the social fabric of the affected communities, Mr Ingersole said.

And the group would give every member of the public the opportunity to participate in a social impact assessment, not a select few.

In this case the Federal Government would not approve the project and it could not be built. It is for that reason that we have decided to focus most of our efforts on putting the Queensland Government’s Terms of Reference (TOR) and Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) under the microscope and doing what it takes to ensure that our views are heard and that we have an opportunity to argue for changes, inclusions and deletions in these important documents.

This meeting was called as a result of the Green Folder information that was sent to landholders. Several of us in Middle Creek Road compared the Maps that were fowarded in our green folders. It became evident - even to us mere country folk, that neighboring properties had different lines (red) with each property being either fully resumed or partially resumed. Of note, our property which has two paddocks which are as high or higher than our neighbors, will be totally resumed - according to the maps. Our fellow neighbour, whose house is situated at approximately the same height or lower than our front paddocks, is able to keep her house and a portion of the land, only the creek area will be resumed.
