"The citizens of the Bundaberg region call on the Queensland State Government and the Bundaberg Regional Council to review their East Bundaberg Flood Levee proposal and implement better flood protection measures that will protect those most at risk of future flood events in the Burnett River, including the residents of North Bundaberg, Avoca and other flood risk areas."

The BFPG  believes that the East Levee Wall proposal has very little benefit for a very high cost. As a result, a petition has commenced, requesting that the Bundaberg Regional Council and the Queensland State Government undertake a review of all the flood mitigation options that are currently on the table and decided on by the Community Reference Group, including a full review of costs and community benefits.
