Petition complains about parties

Gosford Council has received a petition from residents of Mercator Parade on St Huberts Island, complaining about parties held at the house.

The petition, with 35 signatures, stated that the majority of the neighbours on the street were retired or elderly and the "uproar" coming from the neighbouring house late at night was "very distressing for the surrounding residents".

It stated that police had been called on two occasions.

It also stated that the houses garbage bins were "always overflowing with refuse, due to the large number of people using the property during these weekend parties".

The petition asked that council stop the disruption to the "peace and quiet of the surrounding area, due to the constant noise from the weekend/holiday rental" of the certain property "by large groups of people in party mode".

Council has referred the issue to its education and compliance unit.
