Ten-year old Maddy is on a "crusade to stop the shade".
A development application for a five-storey apartment building next to her school, Holy Trinity Primary in Curtin, will leave the playground and grass area muddy and slippery in winter, she said.
Maddy will have left the school by the time the apartment complex is built, but is committed to opposing it for her one-year-old sister, who will be enrolled in the coming years.
