Toowoomba gets to vote again ...

... just to be sure.

Water vote in March

29 November 2006

South-east Queenslanders will get a vote on drinking recycled water on March 17 next year, Premier Peter Beattie said today.

...

The areas to get a vote will include Toowoomba, which has already voted on the issue and rejected the proposal this year.

The exact question to be put to voters is yet to be drafted, but will be ready by the first day of parliamentary sittings next year.

The area to be polled includes 19 shires from the Tweed River in the south to Cooloola Shire in the north and Toowoomba in the west.

...

Deputy Premier Anna Bligh will today introduce a bill to allow the plebiscite to be held. The government doesn't yet have the power to allow a vote to be held in one particular section of the state.

Mr Beattie said the vote would give people in the council areas that drew from the water supplies of the Wivenhoe Dam system a say on recycled water. [But Toowoomba doesn't draw its water supplies from Wivenhoe Dam or has Beattie just made a slip-up on his plans for Toowoomba?]
