Strength in bigger numbers Support swells as community seeks answers over quarry By Sonia Isaacs Over 1800 people have now joined a grassroots collective formed to fight the planned Hanson Glasshouse Quarry expansion, as the group plans its next steps to activate their campaign. The strong community reaction comes in response to a Development Application (DA) lodged with Sunshine Coast Council by Hanson in late July proposing to double rock extraction to 1.2 million

tonnes per year at their Glass House Mountains site. This has triggered a passionate response from local community members and activated the formation of the ‘Save our Glasshouse Mountains” community group. Glass House Mountains resident and co-founding member of the group, Megan Standring, said she had been humbled and exhilarated by the overwhelming interest shown for the community initiated campaign, with people from all walks of life and across the region stepping up to offer support.
