The residents of Blue Haven Terralong are heading into another month without the village inclinator in working order. 

The inclinator, is designed to help community members with transportation on the steep incline, particularly useful for our senior population to get their groceries home from the shopping centre across the road. 

There are 200 units at the Blue Haven facility with maintenance fees of $120 per week. Blue Haven uses the village inclinator as a key feature of their accessibility and independent living focus, and it is also present on the mobility map of Kiama.

Residents who contacted Kiama Council regarding the issue told The Bugle that nothing has been done about the broken machine, leaving residents inconvenienced.

Kiama Council told The Bugle that it has been challenging funding contractors who can provide a quote to repair or replace the equipment, but Council says it now has two quotes.

Council hopes to make a decision on how to proceed in the new year.
