A request from Lockyer Valley mayor Tanya Milligan to inform and consult residents before the arrival and quarantine of 160 international workers in Grantham was ignored by the Queensland government’s Department of Agriculture, she has claimed.
Cr Milligan has slammed the non-existent community consultation as “disappointing” and said council’s request to the agriculture department for the Grantham community to be informed ahead of the seasonal workers’ arrival on Friday, May 7.
Cr Milligan said the Lockyer Valley Regional Council was contacted via the local disaster management group to establish their opinion on the workers from Vanuatu and Pacific Islands quarantining at a hub in Grantham.
