Those supporting the tenants described it as greedy move, however, some have defended Allswell Communities.

“The owner of any land is able to do whatever they like with it, provided it gets council approval, and in my humble opinion it's wrong to attack anyone for seeking to maximise a return on their land.

Tenant Lyn Couley told readers that her van has been more than just a holiday home.
“It’s not just holidays for us,” she said.
“We use it as a base to be involved with the grandchildren.
“Came down for book week last week and it's netball grand finals this weekend.”
Sarah Blair echoed Lyn’s sentiments.
“We are all devastated by this especially the kids, they will now miss out spending time with their grandparents and other family members because of this,” she said.
“Let's hope we can relocate their cabin somewhere close.”
