My frineds and I have had some fabulous parties off Cherry beach – DJ’s, projection screens – guess that’ll all be over.
There was a plan I saw a couple years ago that included townhomes and condos, but done on low scale (like Sydney) – respecting the nature of the area – anyone know what happened to that?
