I am of the opinion that this was because it would then have been in the realm of retirement villages. This I believe would bring it into more stringent regulations such as distance from shops, medical assistance etc.
The project is to be marketed at the over 55s because no lender will lend for manufactured homes, so they are relying on retirees to sell their property to buy.
I would suggest that all residents of the Mid North Coast take the time to keep abreast of any similar proposals before council.
I rely on what was said at the residents meeting with council and Gateway on October 17 and believe the community has the right to object to this type of development regardless of State Government guidelines.
