Following the Gold Coast City Council’s rejection of a development application for a 9 storey residential tower on the beachfront in Main Beach, Katie Page, partner of Gerry Harvey and joint head of the Harvey Norman chain, has lodged an appeal.

Set to be held in the Planning and Environment court in the next few months, the appeal aims to overturn the Gold Coast City Council’s decision.  Meanwhile, a group of local residents opposed to the development have raised over $130,000 to fund the legal fight against the development themselves.

Aiming to raise half a million dollars – a similar figure to that spent on the successful legal fight against the 5 storey ‘Tedder One’ development  – the residents, in conjunction with Council, feel they have a strong chance of success.
