Changes to Traveston Dam
Are we shuffling deck chairs here?
The Deputy Premier Anna Bligh announced some major changes to the Traveston Dam proposal in Parliament this morning.
The capacity of the first stage of Traveston Dam will now be 153,000 megalitres, down from the original 180,000 megalitres. Because of this 16 properties that have already been purchased are now no longer required and will be offered back to the original owners.
However, the catch is that a further 18 properties that were not originally required will now be resumed by the the Queensland government.
