Tip tours proposed

Gosford Council is to investigate providing guided tours of Woy Woy tip.

The educational tours would cater to school and community groups.

Council was told that, while the landfill site was open to the public for the disposal of solid waste, educational guided tours could not gain access to the site.

A report by council staff stated that there were community groups and schools in the area that wished to have educational guided tours of the landfill sites to assist with "waste management education".

"Information and contact details for any applications should be simple and accessible," the report stated.

"Contact details and the promotion of applications for guided tours should be advertised across council websites and newspaper corner.

"This would enable community groups or schools (with a minimum of 10 people) to participate with educational guided tours in an accessible and informative way."
