High and Dry

| Quote: | | On April 29, 1989, an inquiry was called into the proposed construction of Wolffdene Dam. It recommended “planning to continue towards the construction of a proposed dam” at Wolffdene. However, there were two dissenters – ALP members Henry Palaszczuk (the current Minister for Natural Resources, Mines and Water) and Len Ardill (retired). In their report, dated September 28, 1989, they strongly opposed Wolffdene and concluded: “Calculations by Brisbane City Council Water Supply & Sewerage Department indicate no new source is required until at least 2030 AD and possibly 2050 AD … Mount Crosby and North Pine can provide all water required for the anticipated population until after 2011 and probably until 2051.” |
