To the Honourable the Speaker and Members of the House of Representatives assembled in Parliament:

The petition of certain residents of the Community of Khancoban draws to the attention of the House

the fact that the Snowy Mountains Hydro Electricity Authority has received a government grant to construct a Visitors Centre at Murray One Power Station, Khancoban NSW. Within this Visitors Centre it has been proposed to incorporate a refreshment outlet.

Khancoban is a small village of 400 persons with already existing retail/cafe/refreshment traders battling to keep in business. The idea of the Visitors Centre is not in argument here. It is the establishment of another Refreshment Provider which causes great concern to those of us in the hospitality industry in the area.

There is not a sufficient tourist/passing trade to warrant this project.

Your petitioners therefore pray

that the House instruct the Snowy Mountains Hydro electricity Authority to abort the establishment of another Retail/Refreshment Provider at Murray One Power Station.
