Residents of the Sunshine coast are preparing to settle in for a long haul protest movement in response to a the possible development of a large sand mine in the region.
The proposal for a 105 hectare sand mine in Forest Glen is currently in limbo, with reports that soil testing in the area has been completed but no official action has been taken.
While the company responsible has issued statements to the local community stating the site has the potential to help build up to twenty thousand new homes, they’re set to meet strong opposition if the mine does go ahead.
