The heart of the Gold Coast, a place abundant in natural beauty and community spirit, is at risk. The proposal to construct a Trump Golf Course and Resort could disrupt the harmony and values we hold dear. Previously, a successful petition halted the construction of a Trump Tower on our coast because the developer, investors, and community acknowledged the negatives associated with the Trump brand.

The Trump Organisation's track record around the world speaks volumes about the potential impacts of this development. Numerous communities have voiced concerns about the socio-economic and environmental repercussions of hosting a Trump-branded enterprise. The brand is often perceived as inconsistent with Australian values, undermining inclusivity and sustainability. Potential investors may see the glamor associated with the Trump name, but it often comes with disregard for local values and conditions.

Past developments under this brand have led to a disruption of local economies, an escalation in property prices, and exclusion of community voices in crucial decisions. Our Gold Coast community deserves developments that foster local engagement and sustainability, not schemes wrapped in controversy.

Moreover, the natural landscapes and wildlife habitats that make the Gold Coast unique could be severely affected by construction. Protecting these treasures is crucial; we owe it to future generations to preserve the natural beauty and environmental health of our region.

Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate seems obsessed with getting the Trump Organisation to construct something, anything, associated with the Trump name. He has labelled those of us who oppose such a construction as "haters."

We must stand firm to protect our beloved Gold Coast from becoming a mere venue for a brand that is out of step with our community's values. It's not merely a golf course we're protecting against; it's the identity and integrity of our community.

Join us to stop this development before it sets roots. Sign this petition to send a clear message: the Gold Coast stands for values beyond profits driven by an external brand that doesn't represent us.
