Toowoomba City Council City Report ...

... spot the omission.

Toowoomba ratepayers recently received the Toowoomba City Council City Report 2005/2006.
The section on Water is most interesting because of its omission:

"The Water Futures - Toowoomba project, which included a proposal to introduce recycled water to the city's drinking water supply, had a big impact on Council. As requested by the Federal Government, the project was put to a poll on July 29. Concurrently, Council continued to seek alternative water supplies and vigorously pursue water saving initiatives, commissioning new bores (10 basalt aquifers, one Great Artesian Basin) and installing systems at the Milne Bay Aquatic Centre with potential water savings of two megalitres of water a year."

And the result of the 29 July poll was ???

The Council's inability to admit that Mayor Thorley's ill-conceived plan was defeated is amazing ...

Thank goodness the CMC is at last going to investigate this Council. They must be very apprehensive and waiting for the axe to fall. We have been telling them that this is not the way to treat the people of Toowoomba and now we find their Engineer and others allegedly falsified documents to support their application for a grant re the deceptive Water Futures campaign. Bring it on I say and make them apologise to the community.
