Park plans to community's detriment
We have owned a cabin at the Ettalong Beach Holiday Village home park since 2006.
We attempted to sell our cabin over a year ago, only to learn the operators had placed an embargo on issuing any new occupation certificates.
This blocked our sale.
The operators apparently had no regard for occupiers' interests .
Their conduct was appalling and disgraceful.
We have heard from other home owners in the park who have shared the same experience.
The operators had grand plans to reconfigure the park, doing away with the holiday cabins to install permanent resident properties.
The plans included acquisition of leases for the vacant block of adjacent land which mysteriously burnt down plus demolition of the remaining community property.
This would be to the complete detriment of current owners plus the community who would no longer have access to the facilities.
Their motivation was profit rather than community or owners' interests.
The standard of the park's amenities have deteriorated since their management commenced.
Will the new operators be any different?
