Updating a post MHProNews last published May 27, 2014 concerning opposition to a 100-homesite manufactured housing community (MHC) in Mayfield, New South Wales, Australia, councilors approved the development by a 7-4 vote at a public hearing, according to newcastlestar.com.au. Councilor Brad Luke, who had chaired the meeting, said the developers had followed all the rules and made changes according to community feedback. Noting government regulation needs to be revised, he said, “It is an archaic set of rules and needs to be updated . . . but it [manufactured housing] is permissible on that land.” Opponents say they may seek legal action to try and stop the project. ##
