Kate and Greg Carr’s dream of raising a family in a quiet country home have been shattered by proposals for a workers’ accommodation village on their boundary. The shed in the background of the photograph is the boundary between the Carrs’ property and the proposed workers’ village site.
Kate and Greg Carr bought their Cope Road property two years ago with plans to raise a family there.
The Carrs chose the property with dreams of providing a “nice, quiet country home” when the time came to have children.
Their plans for the future have been shattered by news that The Mac’s proposed workers’ village will be located less than 200 metres from their back fence.
“We moved from town so we would have space and not have so many neighbours and have peace and quiet – and now this,” said Mrs Carr, who lived in Campbelltown before moving to the Mid-Western Region.
“We thought we’d stay forever. It’s wrecked all our plans.”
Like their neighbours, Mr and Mrs Carr said they were unaware of the location of the proposed workers’ village until it was revealed at the Gulgong Chamber of Commerce meeting.
