Petition against retirement village

Gosford Council has received a petition objecting to a proposed retirement village on the corner of Hillview St and Veron Rd, Woy Woy.

The petition, with 82 signatures, objected to the proposed 37-unit Everglades Retirement Village.

The petition stated that it was essential that land be set aside for recreational enjoyment due to the density of proposed housing on the Woy Woy Peninsula.

The petition also stated that the land should be made available for access to students from the adjacent schools to learn about the type of plants, birds and animals that "can be found on our coastal sand plains".

Council resolved to note the petition.
