The Headland Preservation Group financial update meeting summarized that they have raised $24,154 to date from memberships, donations, and interest. $19,252 has been spent on advertising, legal advice, insurance, and other expenses. They have a $4,903 surplus but face challenges in hiring staff, preparing for a legal challenge, promoting their message, and obtaining more financial and professional support. The key issue is preventing the sale of public parkland to private interests for aged care, not the aged care itself. They need volunteer skills in finance, law, media, facilitation, architecture, and economics to move forward.
