no maccas call for experts

The No Maccas in the Hills group are calling for experts to help with the upcoming appeal at VCAT. 

The community protests at the proposed site of the
 McDonalds in Tecoma, 2011.

The appeal, commencing 6 August this year, will see McDonalds put forward 5 experts to assist their case for a McDonalds in Tecoma. And they've got very deep pockets to pay for it.

At the practice day hearing the community also nominated 5 experts to assist with the case. Now they're on the hunt to find people who are committed to the cause to help out.

Are you an expert (this means professional qualifications) who is willing to help the community pro bono, or at reduced community friendly rates? Do you know someone who might want to help out?

No Maccas in the Hills are particularly looking for 'experts' in:

• Architecture and Urban Design
• Town Planning
• Traffic and transport
• Health and community wellbeing
• Marketing and tourism
• Acoustics
• Lighting
• Media relations
• Environmental impacts.

The help of experts will really bolster the community's case, if you can help or know someone who might be able to help out please contact No Maccas in the Hills on nomaccas2012@gmail.com.
