We note that the Fernvale Consultation meeting of 22"d June was attended by a very small proportion of the 130 license Holders. We consider that the views expressed about the level of charging per Ml were not representative of our views or the views of the majority of license holders in the Central Brisbane WSS who attended a meeting of 10th July 2012.
