Offensive posters left at Qld mosque site

A man has been charged with trespassing after offensive posters were allegedly left at the site of a prospective mosque at the Sunshine Coast.

The site for a prospective mosque at the Sunshine Coast has allegedly been plastered with offensive posters.

The Church Street address at Maroochydore has been the subject of public protests since it was bought by the Sunshine Coast Islamic community in 2014 and approved by council last month.

A police spokeswoman could not confirm the content of the posters but said a 64-year-old man had been charged with trespassing at the address on Tuesday afternoon.
