Developers of a controversial proposed retirement village near Nambour have pressed pause on their bid after Sunshine Coast Council raised a number of concerns with the project.
Andrew and Jo Pitcher of Highgate Developments lodged a development application last year for a 275-home retirement village on Savilles Road at Highworth.
The village, named Grove Retirement, has attracted strong opposition from a group of locals who have retained a prominent Coast lawyer in a bid to fight the proposal.
Town planners emailed the council on behalf of the Pitchers on April 20 to "stop the clock" for 15 business days to allow time for them to respond to a request from the council for more information.
