Active recreation not needed at Killcare

Gosford Council's manager of recreation services, Mr Peter Hickman, has recommended that the council not develop an active recreation area in Killcare Heights.

He made the recommendation in a report presented to the council's Coastal Open Space System Management Committee.

Results of a survey carried out in the area found that, for over 90 per cent of people surveyed, walking was the most popular activity in the area, meaning that an active recreation area was not needed.

The COSS management committee decided to investigate the possibility of transferring lot 415 to be part of Bouddi National Park, and to have further investigation into the two adjoining areas being incorporated in to the COSS system or retained as natural areas.
