Please do not take the beach front away from our older citizens as they love the area and older people take a lot of joy from viditing the beach with family for picnics and taking part in the activities that are provided. This is their home. Please leave it for our older seniors and put some money into renovating this historical piece for Aged Care resident Focused Living.

Surely something can be done, a compromise???

They pay their money for their fees on time. If they didn't pay their fees now there would be something said. But they religiously pay their fees. But - seeing they have been evicted why should they pay them.
Give these elderly a chance in life they have gone to war / been through the depression / they have had their family / paid their taxes while working for the Australia Government. Now it is their time to be looked after in Eventide Facility at Brighton.

If your mother or father were in this facility you would have it stopped in no time because it would never have happened in the first place.
You have a home to live in - the bank hasn't taken it away from you. Well this is the 2nd time the Government has taken the home away from my mum 1st time was for the Wivenhoe Dam in 1974 after the floods. Now it is happening again with Eventide.

Eventide has fantastic ,caring staff which is so important when you are caring for the elderly. It's cruel to be moving these vulnerable people away from the place they know. I suppose this so the govt can make a huge profit for prime real estate but this is immoral. Leave Eventide alone.

Hospital Boards should not have the right to slash services without any input from the community they serve. I thought these boards existed because they could respond better to the local community's needs and concerns - what a joke.

However, you can be assured, that given the communities strong opposition to this re-development and theft of one of our local icons we will actively campaign against the re-election of your government.

Kerry Millard can kiss her chances of re-election goodbye.

The eventide nursing home is in a lovely location, it provides a local resting place for members of our community who need supported accommodation. Given its close proximity, residents are able to stay connected to the local community, friends and family. It is important. It is not just a big bank of land with $$$$ signs all over it.

We are a very proactive, connected and educated community. We will be campaigning heavily and effectively. This is an important community resource and we will fight for it.

Reconsider your planned re-development and consider the interests of the local community that you are serving.
