The new wave of consumer advocacy: The Sydney Central City Planning Panel has unanimously voted to refuse H Investments’ $113 million proposal, which proposed building 146 self-care units across eight three-storey buildings and a 74-bed aged care facility at Dural, 35km northwest of the Sydney CBD.
As we covered here, the development was to be the first village and aged care development by the Sydney-based investment company but was targeted by residents as part of their campaign against a number of seniors developments proposed for the semi-rural area.
The area has proven a battleground between developers and the local Council too. Last year the Hills Shire Council implemented a policy of objecting to all new retirement village applications until a backlog of seven new developments was cleared.
