Have a hissy fit and leave if you wish. Whats 'nasty' and what is splitting the community is not the supporters of Piplings but the persistent and almost virulent activity of some residents and the clearly undemocratic residents association against a viable business which has done nothing more than most people do which is to not be aware of an outdated covenant on their property. Most people havent a clue about theirs. As others have said , the intention of these covenants were to protect the interests of the builders during the construction phase lest it impact on initial sales.

Whats nasty is the attitude of people who are fairly well off retirees who forget that they were young once with families and now find reason to object to the presence of and facilities for young children, and who are rich enough with money and time to pursue petty legal actions.

Whats nasty is the fact that people are taking photos of children arriving at the nursery without their parents consent. Try that with me and you'll find yourself without a working camera. Its outrageous that people and innocent children are being treated in this way.

Thousands of people breach residential leases all the time. It now seems that the people taking action against Piplings are themselves running a business from their property but no one can do anything as no breach has taken place due to the sequence of construction. A bit rich dont you think?
