Toowoomba Regional Council purple pipe back flip - Flanagan and Taylor overruled ...
Excerpt from WIN News:
Purple Pipes
23 October 2008
Toowoomba Regional Council has gone against the recommendation of its Water Services department on purple pipes, voting to enforce the condition they be installed in new developments.
The Planning schemes of the former Jondaryan and Crows Nest Shires requires developers to install the dual reticulation pipes in all new developments.
Council has rejected a proposed moratorium on the development condition.
It'll mean home buyers will continue to bear the additional fifteen to twenty thousand dollar cost of installing the recycled water infrastructure.

Hurrah for the Councillors who opposed Flanagan and Taylor! You cannot make an election promise and then go back on it. It is unfortunate for the home builders who will be charged the extra money. $20,000 for purple pipes seems very excessive. I just hope they won't have to fill the pipes from Wivenhoe Dam. We elected Councillors who would do the will of the people and keep their promises, not roll over at the first lot of Govt pressure.
