LOS ANGELES: A development application has been lodged for a $110 million seniors living community, in what would be one of the most significant private investments proposed in the Lismore local government area in decades.

Over a total cleared area of 12.2 ha, it would contain 200 dwellings, associated community facilities building (club house), outdoor recreation facilities (courts, pool), associated earthworks, tree removals and fencing.
