Catherine Hill Bay resident Joey Warren has been served an eviction notice from the home he’s lived in for over 50 years by property developer Wallalong Land Developments Pty Ltd. Mr Warren’s house was built by his grandfather over one hundred years ago and has been occupied by the family ever since.
Wallalong Land Developments Pty Ltd bought the Coal & Allied land to the north of Catherine Hill Bay in 2017.  This includes the land under Mr Warren’s house. They intend to subdivide and proceed with a residential development of land in the Middle Camp area.
Now well into his seventies and in poor health, Mr Warren has been served a 90-Day Notice of Termination requiring him to leave his house and deliver vacant possession of the land. Mr Warren has been given the option to “remove the building within the 90-day limit”, by 5pm 30th September 2021. Given Joey’s health and the fact that the house is over 100 years old, this is all but impossible.
The Tenants' Union of NSW is representing Mr Warren in his dealings with the property developer and believe that the occupancy of his house by Mr Warren fits the criteria for "protected tenancy" and this status arises out of historical legislation in NSW.

Support the call from the Tenant's Union of NSW to acknowledge the protected tenancy claim for Joey Warren in relation to the occupancy of his family home in Catherine Hill Bay.
He should be allowed to live peacefully in the Catherine Bay house, which has been occupied by his family continuously for more than 100 years, for the remainder of his natural life.
