Objection to dune project

Residents of Patonga have petitioned Gosford Council, objecting to the Patonga Dune Project.

A petition with 57 signatures was sent by the Patonga Beach Progress Association, "vigorously objecting" to the dune area of the beach being enclosed and planted with "supposedly" suitable species.

The petitioners asked that council make available to residents of Patonga expert evidence from botanists, beach vegetation specialists and environmentalists which support the need for enclosure and replanting of the beach.

Council referred the petition to its open space and leisure services department.
