Ah, the old "what are you doing to make a difference?" argument. : The new Godwin's.
i rarely go to the peak so don't really care about the hotel. I don't live in a NT village so don't care too strongly about that either (oh, so selfish I am). As such, I will not be organising any petitions.
My point is if you do care about such things, then care about them all, especially those that wreck people's livelihoods. Don't just concentrate on the ones that may once in a blue moon prevent you from walking your dog.

The developer should do it properly and push a new access road down to #27 from Mt Austin Road, similar to what #25 & 26 have done.
The new access road need only be 100 metres long and it takes the carts/buses off the hiking and tourist trail.
Think they will end up doing this if it's possible. Judging by what they've managed so far without due dillegence it should be a cinch. 100 meters? Everyone will be smiling.
I woke up one morning to find a motley bunch of idiots under the direction of a mainlander trying to build a road through my garden to get to the country park! Yea gods I had the lands department the Country parks and the police all arrive at once. Telling you, you stop concentrating for five seconds and the country parks are gone.
I imagine I'm like most people, I care most about the things that affect me and less so about ones that don't. This one has the potential to affect me (ie getting run over by a crazy minibus driver on my 1 or 2 runs each week on the HK trail) so I'm happy to do something about it. If some village in the NT that I've never heard of gets bulldozed then whilst it probably is the wrong thing the chances of me doing something about it are slim to none. It might not be the nicest attitude in the world to have but at least I'm honest about it.
People are free to pick and choose which issues to champion. If everyone follows your "care all or care nothing" [insert adjective] mentality, then, no issue will ever be picked up. There are simply too many issues for everyone to care all and it's not up to you to decide on the priority for other people!
