Torquay Towers Appeal Fund - Hervey Bay

Thank you to every single one of you that has donated to this appeal. Your donations has enabled the WPSQ FC to lodge their appeal which I believe has more than a strong chance of success. Now that Wildlife has launched their own tax deductible fundraising please use their options to continue to donate to this essential Appeal. Check their website and/or Facebook page for links and info. The legal costs are estimated to eventually total over $200k so regularly donating is the best chance that we have to fund this Appeal and win!

From myself personally your faith in the Appeal and your passion for preserving sensible Planning Scheme height controls in Hervey Bay, is awe inspiring. Together we can win! Thanks, Sue Brooks

We have an Appellant. The Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland - Fraser Coast has lodged an Appeal.

 

Please help us right a wrong before it’s too late! The Fraser Coast Regional Council has approved a huge 19 storey building fronting our beautiful Esplanade at Torquay. At 70 metres high the building is three and a half times the permitted height for the area and would be the highest building north of Brisbane. These ‘two towers’ at Torquay don’t comply with our Fraser Coast Planning scheme especially in relation to height, bulk, density and environmental impacts.

Could you please help us retain our beautiful low rise Esplanade foreshore and especially the beautiful fragile rare inshore coral reefs and the fish, turtles and other marine life that will be negatively impacted by artificial light.

 

The Fraser Coast branch of the Wildlife Preservation Society Queensland (WPSQ FC) has lodged an appeal via the Qld Planning and Environment Court to have the development either refused or made to be compliant with the relevant Planning Schemes. P&E Law have been engaged by the Appellant to represent them. This is exciting news. We now have a very highly respected and trusted Appellant who has engaged a legal firm that we believe is a leader in the field.

 

This Appeal will ultimately cost a great deal of money. We thank WPSQ Fraser Coast for their willingness to seek justice for our community. Please help WPSQ FC by donating to fund this Appeal and sharing the link to this page. You can also donate directly to WPSQ - FC. Details available via their web site.

 

A special thank you to the donors who have already contributed. Without your financial support the Appeal would not be happening.
