Moratorium is welcomed

Member for Peats, Ms Marie Andrews, has welcomed the moratorium placed on the closure of the Gosford Horticultural Institute by Minister for Primary Industries Mr lan MacDonald.

"This is a temporary win for the staff at the Gosford facility and I intend to make it a permanent win.

"I won't be satisfied until this is the situation", Ms Andrews said.

"This is not about politics.

"This is all about people and retaining jobs on the Central Coast."

"I also call on the Minister for the Central Coast to continue to work towards reaching a positive outcome for the Gosford Horticultural Institute."
