The Yarrbat Place Residents' Association Committee is very concerned with what it considers to be an unbalanced report by the ABC on its 7.30 program last week. What was conveyed in the ABC program does not reflect our daily life in what is a harmonious community. While some of us may have disagreements with management from time to time, the vast majority of residents live in this village very contentedly. In 2018, a facility-wide smoking ban was proposed and approved by residents. The role of management was, and still is, to implement the new rule. Over approximately five years, the committee and individual residents tried to assist the one smoker in the community. Our efforts were rebuffed. We believe the health benefits of living in a smokefree environment outweigh one individual’s consistent flouting of the rules.
