On 22 January 2019 Sunrise Beach locals supported by a Glossy expert sat down with Uniting Care and Blue Care representatives to discuss the planned aged care development at Sunrise Beach. The passionate locals explained to the developers the strong and urgent need to retain more trees to support the long term survival of the vulnerable Glossy Black Cockatoo, Calyptorhynchus lathami. The group also showcased the strong community support for the campaign with The Save Sunrise Glossies petition gaining over 2250 signatures, a list of over 220 comments left by signatories and 9 letters of support (including SCEC) including from the largest local community conservation organisations.
