Mudjimba Development Appeal

I am part of a group of local residents of Mudjimba, a small, quiet, beachside village on the north side of the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia. We have united in a bid to stop a commercial development being built in the heart of our community. Our local council have approved a large site to be re-zoned from rural and low density residential use to commercial use, allowing a 24-pump service station and 2 fast food restaurants to be built.

We have appealed against this decision and have had to take this appeal to court in an attempt to stop this from happening to our community. Beautiful native vegetation has already been destroyed as the land is prepared for the development and more trees will be stripped to make space for an access road. Many local residents will have this development at their doorsteps, many more will suffer the impact from the increased noise and traffic. It will change the feel of our village completely. Our community  should have been protected from this; we have a town plan in place which clearly states the appropriate uses for this land but our council have ignored this plan and approved the changes anyway. 

If we cannot fund this appeal the whole community will be affected. Many local people have dug deep to contribute money since we started this appeal in December 2015 and so far we have found the money to appoint experts and finalise a court date later this year. We are only a small voice though and taking on a huge task in appealing against the council and developer. We have concluded that we can only succeed with the care and support of the entire Sunshine Coast community and the wonderful people of the world.

All funds raised through this appeal will be contributed directly towards the legal costs involved. Every amount recieved, small or large is greatly appreciated and will postively impact our entire community both now and into the future, saving our trees, wildlife and beachside village for locals and all the fantastic visitors that travel here to enjoy it too. Please help us save our village!
