Northern Tasmanian woman Roslyn Grima spent the last months of her life fighting in court for the right to sell her home in the beauty point caravan park. Ms Grima died before a trial could begin but now her children are taking on the case in order to help others who find themselves facing similar challenges.
00:05She was adamant that she wanted us to, you know, take it all the way and fight for what's right.
00:16Roslyn Grimer was terminally ill and wanted to sell her home at the Beauty Point tourist park.
00:22She planned to use the money from the sale to fund cancer treatment and her funeral.
00:27But the caravan park banned on site sales last year after the local council said the park wasn't approved for residential use.
00:35Ms Grimer took the matter to the Supreme Court but died before the trial could begin.
00:40Everyone that met her loved her. She was just a big bubble of bliss.
00:46And yeah, she's going to be sadly missed. She's going to, yeah, she's going to be missed.
00:55The park says isn't the only case the caravan park is fighting in court.
00:59John Lowe was issued an eviction notice but the Supreme Court ruled it was invalid.
01:04The park's appealing the verdict and Tasmania's Attorney General plans to intervene.
01:09That is unusual. I take it very seriously.
01:12The state government also plans to regulate the residential use of caravan parks.
01:17In the first quarter of next year I would hope to introduce such legislation to provide improved protections and stronger protections for long term residents in caravan parks.
01:29The managing director of the Beauty Point tourist park, Joshua Manticus, told the ABC he's sold his shares in the company and no longer holds any interest in the property.
01:39He didn't answer questions about what his departure means for the ongoing court cases.
01:44Ms Grimer's children are determined to win.
01:47It will bring people and give people faith in the system more so than anything because right now they've been living in fear for so long.
