Rally March against Maccas. We will not be silenced

Sunday, July 28, 2013 - 12:00

Sunday, July 28, 12 noon. Car Park between Cameo & La Collina Pizzeria, Burwood Hwy, Belgrave (close to Belgrave station). Protesters are facing legal threats over their fight to protect the Dandenong Ranges from the yellow fluorescent arches of McDonald's franchises. In a proposal first rejected by the local council last year, McDonalds was later given approval by the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) to build a restaurant opposite the local primary school in the small town of Tecoma. VCAT made the decision despite strong opposition from local residents, including a petition with 2000 signatures. Stand Up for the Tecoma 8! Protect your civil right to peacefully protest! Marching to Tecoma protest site. BBQ at end. This is a peaceful, non-violent, family-friendly event.
