Why we need help right now
A major proposal at Smiths Beach is moving through the approvals process. Our community is lodging an appeal and making sure decision-makers hear the full story, including the long-term impacts on the beach, coastal environment, and public access.
This fundraiser helps cover urgent costs in the appeal window, including independent expert advice and campaign expenses. If you’ve been meaning to support the fight, this is the moment.
What your donation helps fund:
Independent environmental and planning advice
Preparation and submission costs for the appeal process
Campaign essentials (printing, comms, and community updates)
Every donation helps, and sharing the fundraiser is just as valuable.
