Douglas Shire Sustainability Group (DSSG) welcomes the decision of the Planning and Environment Court (the Court) to allow the appeal by DSSG and others; overturning the decision of Douglas Shire Council (Council) of 30 March 2022, to approve the development of a “Wave Park’ at Mowbray. 

President of DSSG, Didge McDonald, said “DSSG is vindicated in its opposition to this development in our Shire”.

“This is a win for all those wishing to safeguard the integrity of our planning scheme and ensuring appropriate development in Douglas Shire. The process of the Court has allowed public opinion to be heard, and in this case, validated.”
