Queensland Premier, Peter Beattie is trying to force Thuringowa city to amalgamate with Townsville, both mayors are against this idea.
Thuringowa is one of the fastest growing cities and has won many awards, the residents of Thuringowa feel that it would be unfair for Thuringowa to be handed over to Townsville in this way as it will provide Townsville with free assets that Thuringowa city built and would also give Townsville the large cost to change over all the street signs, rates, Wheelie bins etc.
The amalgamation would not benefit the Twin cities in any way and needs to be left as it is.
We the people of Thuringowa and Townsville feel that the forced amalgamation would do more harm than good and ask that you take in to consideration the impact of merging two cities of this size would have on rate payers and the council/s.
We ask that the cities of Thuringowa and Townsville be left as two cities and not amalgamated.
