Stop a McDonald's being built in Mount Evelyn
Donation protected
A property developer wants to build a McDonald's on Hereford Road in Mount Evelyn. This is a residential street. A fast-food restaurant at this location would be bad for:
- Residents: It would create unwanted noise, traffic, and smells for neighbouring residents, and attract vermin
- Local businesses: a fast food restaurant like McDonald's would destroy the small town charm of Mount Evelyn and take revenue from local businesses
- The environment and wildlife: The site is just a short distance from Owl Land Reserve. Owls and other nocturnal wildlife need dark, quiet environments to thrive.
A group of local residents have come together to fight to stop this development from going ahead. Soon, the Yarra Ranges Council will be inviting feedback from the community on the proposal. So right now, we need to make sure everyone in Mount Evelyn and beyond knows about the plan for a McDonald's and how they can take action to stop it.
Your donation can help our small group pay for things like:
- A website to house information on the proposal, the process, and how to take action
- Printing costs for things like leaflets and stickers
- Venues to hold events and community meetings
Every donation is hugely appreciated.
Any funds unused at the end of this campaign will be donated to local community groups.
Thank you!
And if you're not already, please follow the work we are doing on the No McDonald's in Mount Evelyn group on Facebook.
