    War on Wrecks Taskforce Interim Report The Honourable Mark Bailey MP Minister for Transport and Main Roads GPO Box 2644 Brisbane Qld 4001 Dear Minister, I am pleased to present the enclosed Interim report of the War on Wrecks Taskforce (The Taskforce). The Taskforce has concluded its initial consultations and examinations into the issues and causal factors which contribute to boats being illegally dumped in Queensland’s waterways. The “War on Wrecks” is a Palaszczuk Government commitment to ensure that Queensland’s waterways are safe and free of derelict vessels which pose a hazard to navigation, and to the environment, by allocating $20 million over four years to fund the removal of derelict vessels. The Taskforce was established to oversee the program of works and to identify best practice in ensuring that all parties involved in a vessel’s lifecycle meet their obligations from the first time a vessel is launched until its ultimate disposal. This interim report and recommendations have been prepared in accordance with the Taskforce’ terms of reference and includes eleven recommendations and a proposed program of work to address the causal factors identified by the Taskforce. I am pleased to deliver this interim report and look forward to participating in the ongoing program to protect Queensland’s pristine coastal environment. Yours Sincerely Kim Richards MP Member for Redlands, Chair 1 War on Wrecks Taskforce Interim Report Taskforce Chair’s Foreword Queensland has a wonderful climate and we are renowned for our outdoor lifestyle that allows people to enjoy recreation on our magnificent waterways. Our waterways are varied and include beaches, creeks, streams, rivers, lakes, wetlands and estuaries.
