What on Earth is going on in Jonson Street, Byron Bay? I ventured to the newsagent in the middle of...

On 10 March 2021, we published an article entitled ‘Locals not happy with $37m MO proposal near Uki’.

That article made statements to the effect that the proponents of the development application concerning an intentional community near Uki, stretching between Mt Burrell and Kunghur, were previously involved in the collapse of the Bhula Bhula intentional community.

It has been pointed out to us that the article might have been interpreted as suggesting that NCV Enterprises Pty Ltd’s current development application will likely proceed in a matter similar to the Bhula Bhula community.

We did not intend to convey any such suggestion. If the article did give rise to such a
suggestion it was completely without foundation.

We greatly regret any distress or embarrassment that our article may have caused to NCV
Enterprises Pty Ltd, and insofar as it might have conveyed any such suggestion, we apologise to NCV Enterprises Pty Ltd and withdraw that suggestion unreservedly.
