Hi Rich-joy
what a pity to hear that Woollies has eyed off Maleny, one of the most beautiful towns in Queensland.
David Bradbury has made a documentary about a successful battle against developers in Byron Bay, information about it can be seen at:
http://www.frontlinefilms.com.au/videos/byron.htm
there is an article about the campaign here:

and a here's link to the local rag, the Byron Bay Echo. They may be able to put you in email contact with the successful campaigners in Byron:

good luck and best wishes

ps have some old friends in Maleny and go there every few years - I love it!
