The Beauty Point Cabin Park development application will go before the West Tamar Council on Tuesday, and has been recommended for approval subject to 19 conditions.
Beauty Point community member Genna Foot said there was a lack of trust with the development and what the site could become in the future.
"I don't think the community is happy," Mrs Foot said.

"I wasn't surprised [it was recommended to be approved], but I find it so bizarre that they can't speculate on what might happen next with the development."
She said no-one was against development in the area, however questioned whether the area had the infrastructure to support the development.
"It's just bizarre they have based their plans on a foreshore playground, which the plan hasn't been developed yet," she said.
Mrs Foot said the answers found in the application before council raised further questions.

For example clarification on the length of stay for visitors being no longer than three months within any 12-month period, she said there could be loopholes.
Previously, a spokesperson for the proponent of the cabin park said the development was about delivering "much needed" short-stay visitor accommodation, supporting jobs and economic activity in the area.
"While we all understand the need to increase housing, we categorically assure the local community that there will not be any social housing on the site," the spokesperson said.

Mrs Foot said the community would wait for Tuesday's decision before deciding on their next actions.
The site of the proposed $4.5 million development is Lot 1 and Lot 102 West Arm Road, Beauty Point.
