According to documents I received back in May 2019 it appears the Lake Moogerah Water Ski Zone’s lease expires on 31/12/2024 with Nil options, can you please confirm this is correct. Also in the documents I have I can not see any conditions/limitations on the use of the privately owned dwellings located on the FML. Does Seqwater allow these to be used as a permanent residence? And can the dwellings be Sublette/hired out? Also is LMWSZ able to allow short term overnight camping in tents or caravans at the site?

Leslie Harrison Dam

The documents sought are in relation to the ban on the recreational use of Tingalpa Reservoir / Leslie Harrison dam .There are 2 main documents sought.

1. In 2014 SEQ water engaged water quality experts to conduct a water quality study and develop a screening tool to improve understanding of the impact recreation has on water quality in drinking water lakes . The landmark study was one of the most complex and comprehensive of its kind undertaken in Australia.

2. In 2016 a water quality assessment was conducted at Leslie Harrison dam using the screening tool. The assessment found, given the dam's role as a drinking water source for Redlands, recreation cannot be considered because of unacceptable risks to water quality.

Date range: February 2013 to present.

SEQ-045-18

Flouride

1. Total approximate number of tonnes; average delivered price per tonne and total cost of (A) Sodium Fluoride and (B) Sodium Silicofluoride that SEQWATER added to bulk water supplies in the 2016 – 17 financial year.

2. SEQWATER’s estimated costs of fluoridating Queensland’s water supplies for the 2016 – 17 financial year and any other financial years that SEQWATER has estimated ( SEQWATER’s total cost of fluoridation per year; cost of fluoridating per Mega-Litre of fluoridated water; total Mega- Litres of bulk water SEQWATER provided** also total Mega-Litres fluoridated water provided; and also a breakdown of what was included in estimations to show how that estimated cost of fluoridation was derived – eg capital costs, interest on loans, chemical costs, chemical analysis costs, water testing costs, labour – wage costs, personal protection equipment, medical testing of workers, electricity, training, repairs, replacements, upgrades, toxic waste disposal costs ) (** this is asked because SEQWATER may sell some bulk water to farmers / industry/ etc that is not fluoridated).

3. A bottom- line estimated total cost of SEQWATER’s of fluoridating SEQWATER water supplies since fluoridation began late 2008 to end of 2017 ( if SEQWATER has done this estimation).

4. All correspondence/ reports that SEQWATER sent to and received from Qld Health, other Qld government departments, Qld Premier or Ministers, Water Authorities, Councils, regarding the Holts Hill fluoridation plant/s planned offline period for upgrading, including full reasons why upgrade needed so soon when plant/s only 9 years old (original offline period planned from approximately beginning of November 2017 to end February 2018 ). Additionally, any further correspondence when the fluoridation offline period was likely to be extended to May 2018 (as per notices on SEQWATER website ).

5. Copy of Press Releases / any other correspondence/ answers to enquiries that SEQWATER or SEQWATER’S agents had sent out to any media organisations/ press release distributors ( as opposed to just placing notices on website ) regarding Holts Hill plant/s being offline for original estimated offline period and additionally extension of offline period.

9. BACKGROUND - In the last RTI release of fluoride chemicals analysis sheets in Sept 2016 it could be seen that there were large inconsistencies in the measured amounts of heavy metal contaminants when comparing the Hunan Heaven manufacturer’s analysis certificates to the Symbio Alliance analysis certificates. A member of the public sent correspondence to Qld Health about the inconsistencies and was advised that an investigation would be done. REQUEST - Now wish to request a copy of any investigation/ reports /memos and any correspondence internal and external in regard to the inconsistencies of amounts of heavy metals in fluoride chemical analysis sheets.

10. Any memos/ reports and internal or external correspondence that SEQWATER holds regarding future possible upgrades, reasons and projected costs of the other 20 + SEQWATER fluoridation plants.
11. Any reports/memos/ correspondence of any documented overdosing in any SEQWATER plant (fluoride concentration greater than 1.0 mg per litre) since Jan 2016 until present date.

12. A bottom line document to establish if SEQWATER holds public liability insurance for issues other than flooding (eg for any health issues caused by water supplied by SEQWATER ) and the name of any company insuring SEQWATER for health issues.

1) ANONYMISED registered access complaints for both lake Kurwongbah and Lake Samsonvale.

2) The COMPLETE engineers report regarding work to be carried out on Lake Kurwongbah dam wall, including reasons for initial wall inspection, and engineers report explaining findings of the inspection and the work that is required to be carried out. The request also includes the engagement document setting out the parameters for the engineers study.

3) The COMPLETE risk analysis which concluded that concurrent shared access for paddlers and skiers on Lake Kurwongbah is too dangerous. The report should detail all risks, their likelihood and consequence, mitigating factors and residual risk. The report should explain reasoning of the dangers of concurrent shared access, the lower water level and all information explain investigation, findings and conclusions. The report should comment whether the proposal for a dedicated paddling area was

considered and whether the policy regarding shared access on Lake Kurwongbah is consistent with policy on other Seqwater lakes.

4) The COMPLETE peer review report of the Seqwater risk analysis for concurrent shared access. This might have been provide previously in document "Principle Seven - Lake Kurwongbah Risk Assessment Review letter Release.pdf ". If this is the case, then please confirm. The peer review document included the statement "A club member as already advised of a near miss involving a paddleboarder who was illegally on the lake. This occurred when the lake was near full supply." Please provide details of this incident. As I understand things a person wearing a black wetsuit was noted paddling across the lake while LYING down on a surfboard. There was no near-miss. The member drove over to the person and advised that they were difficult to see and the person apologised and paddled away from the skiing

area. As far as I know, no other people have been seen lying down on surfboards on the lake.

5) The water quality report on Lake Samsonvale on which the decision to disallow further paddlecraft access to that lake. The report should advise whether the existing access to Lake Samsonvale by several hundred paddlers was taken into consideration. The report should consider whether secondary contact nature of paddling was considered. The previously supplied data dump of various pathogen levels in various lakes was of limited value.

6) The COMPLETE analysis on which the community preference for paddlecraft was derived. If document " Lake Kurwongbah Survey Statistics.docx" is the COMPLETE analysis, then please confirm.
