The residents are also campaigning for a roundabout at the entrance to the main Myall Quays Shopping complex to provide easier access to the Petrol Station and Hardware store. “When we first moved here the developers promised that another road would be going through,” Cheryl Fairhall said. Most of the petitioners moved to the area before the construction of The Grange, Estia Health Aged Care Facility and Palm Lake Resort. Residents say the then developer, known as ‘Creighton’s’, gave them an assurance that a second access road into the estate would be constructed as part of ‘The Grange’ development. It never happened. The Grange Retirement Village is now home to 190 dwellings with more homes currently under construction. Palm Lake Resort Retirement Village has 160 homes with a further 120 on the drawing board. Settlers Way is also the only access road to the Estia Health Aged Care Facility on Spinifex Avenue. Concerns centre around emergency access, the high traffic volume and heavy construction vehicles which use Settlers Way on a daily basis. The petition has been sent to MidCoast Council. Kate Washington has also raised the residents’ campaign with Council Administrator John Turner. By Margie TIERNEY
