Memorial will be kept

A Vietnam Veterans Memorial is likely to be retained as part of a covered barbecue area, under the proposed Ettalong Beach Reserve Plan of Management.

The memorial consists of a plinth and also a covered barbecue area, both having a mounted plaque.

Gosford Council officers stated that the short term remediation plan proposed that covered barbecues would be placed in the same location as the existing memorial.

Officers stated that: "No difficulty is foreseen in retaining or replacing the existing Memorial plinth, or in designating the proposed group of covered barbecues to be part of the Memorial."

Officers have recommended that the suggestion be incorporated in to the plan.
