Proposed Change in the Composition of Water Authority Boards Section 598A(2) of the Water Act 2000

Proposed Change in the Composition of Water Authority Boards Section 598A(2)

of the Water Act 2000.

Good afternoon members,

Roadvale Water Board have organised a petition in relation to the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy’s proposed change to the election procedure.  If you would like to participate in the e-petition there is a link below. KCGO encourages members, family and friends to support petition in an effort to keep community control with continued election of directors by local water board’s ratepayers.

Petition against the proposed changes to Category 2 Water Boards has been approved by the Queensland Parliament.

 “It has been proposed by the Palaszczuk Labor Government that the way in which Category 2 Water Boards are put in place is changed from an election process to a nomination procedure. This nomination procedure could potentially remove local voices, with local knowledge, by removing the election of directors by local water users, replacing democratic elections with a costly and complex nomination process where directors are subject ultimately to Ministerial appointment. Presently a number of Category 2 Authorities, including the Roadvale Water Board, are operated by a dedicated team of local board directors elected from within the community and contribute exponentially more than remuneration received.

This petition is open to all Queensland residents and includes all Cat 2 Water Boards.

This E-Petition closes on 29/10/2018.

Your support is appreciated.
