The document proposes establishing a holiday retreat for the elderly on 10 acres of seaside land in Butler Bay. It would include 40 self-contained bungalows and dormitory-style accommodation to provide affordable housing for retired residents in a peaceful environment. A budget estimates startup costs of $804,000 with projected annual profits of $70,000 once operational.

2. Recently our family has discussed the possibility
of establishing a small business focusing on the
current community needs.
It was then decided that there was a strong case
to develop a Holiday Retreat for the elderly.
Our vision therefore would be to supply the
elderly and retired with affordable
accommodation in a peaceful environment
located in a spectacular seaside location.
