If you think A Class Reserves should be protected from commercial development, and you are a WA citizen, we need your help, your signature and to share this with your community.

Many Mandurah locals and visitors are unhappy about the proposed microbrewery/ mini golf/ chocolate factory proposed to be developed on 8000m2 of precious shady waterside public recreation land plus 200 + extra carparks.

They're trying to save their Hall Park/Western Foreshore from commercial development!

This is an A Class Recreation Reserve that should have the highest of protections for now and future generations.

Let's not allow precedents like this to be set monetizing our precious green spaces and waterways in WA.

Not against the brewery, not against brews, not against Made in WA, not against chocolate...just against the location.

Gavin is doing real good. 👨‍🏫

Our number 1 job as adults is to allow our children to find their passion for life as early as possible, and once found, we should never ever discredit their enthusiasm towards it!

Because, the number one regret of every grown up in earth is:

‘I wish I’d discovered this earlier.’

You are the bridge between the child and that discovery. Be the bridge!

Plant the seed, water it and watch it grow! ❤️
