A group aimed at protecting Otford region from developers: "If the developers and land speculators have their way, within a few years the ambience and healthy semi-rural living of Helensburgh & Otford will be replaced with the same stressful congested life that people had once come to this region to escape. The bushland sanctuary for our endangered wildlife and enjoyment of all, will cease to exist if carved up into tiny pieces."
