Erect sign for landslip

Members of the Concerned Residents Against Corruption Inc. (CRAC) have become aware of a landslip situation that is occurring at a properly near the top of Woy Woy Bay Rd, which we understand to be lot 22.

Some months ago several individuals from among our membership spoke directly with various Gosford councillors about the Land and Environment Court proceedings and dangerous condition of this property, and we were duly informed that the matter was in the hands of council solicitors.

On Monday, July 28, a large boulder dislodged during a landslip on the subject property, coming to rest just metres before the roadway.

Since this boulder has fallen away, it is logical to believe that the subject land will be even more destabilised and that any further slippage could well cause a major catastrophe, particularly if a car or pedestrian were to be hit by debris, or if a larger landslide were to continue across the roadway and onto the homes below.

Council was advised of the landslip, but it was members of this organisation who erected a sign to warn passers-by of the potential danger of falling rocks, but it was removed by the subject property owner.

We suggest that this is council's responsibility and that a formal council sign should be erected warning of the potential danger without delay.
