Fraser Coast Campaign Group Formed!

After the public meeting at the Neighbourhood Centre in Maryborough on October 31, finally a new campaign group has been formed on the Fraser Coast - The Greater Mary Association(GMA). Although the longterm wellbeing of the Mary River and Sandy Strait will be of concern to the group in the future, currently it's key aim will be to galvanise the efforts of anti-dam campaigners across the region, with the aim of focusing on downstream issues, in particular, the impacts of the dam on the Mary River estuary.

At the meeting, GMA executive members were elected (Darryl Stewart, John Kingston, Tanzi Smith, Elisabeth Berry, Alan Bray, Gilbert Allison, Cliff Greenhalgh) and numerous residents from Maryborough Hervey Bay, Tiaro and beyond were lining up to join and offer their support to the campaign.

Fingers crossed that the intentions and goals of this new association will be achieved!
