Consider open space, says Andrews

Member for Peats and Labor candidate for Gosford, Ms Marie Andrews, has called on Gosford Council to consider the need for open space when deciding the fate of the proposal to build a retirement village at the corner of Hillview St and Veron Rd, Woy Woy.

"It is my view that the 10 elected councillors must reflect the opinion of the local residents in any local government issue," said Ms Andrews.

"It is not just a matter of complying with the relevant DA regulations.

"We all acknowledge the fact that there is little open space on the Peninsula and any proposed loss of existing open space should demand the councillors' views with all politics aside," she said.
