New Housing Plan Favours Reduced Tuross Peninsula Estate

The Camanae Corporation proposes about forty houses on the Tuross Peninsula with over 200 hectares of land to be donated for public open space. This shifts from the original 800 homes plan and follows strong local opposition including three public meetings and a 480-signature petition. The Tuross Lakes Protection Group forms, Moruya Chamber of Commerce reviews service station hours, and The Scott Family Pavilion is named for the surf shed at Malon Bay. A July 25 meeting at Mariners Lodge aims to form a local historical society, while a June 20 Moruya CWA hall gathering discusses next year's Mardi Gras and nursing home funding from hospital land proceeds.
