Drain given all clear

Engineering consultants Cardno Lawson Treloar.have told Gosford Council that a drain in Blackwall Rd, Woy Woy, is not the cause of sedimentation near a jetty at Woy Woy

Gosford Council staff member Dr Peter Freewater has advised the Council's Coastal and Estuary Management Committee that the consultants had investigated the jetty in question and had found there was "no evidence to suggest that the drain was in fact the cause".

Dr Freewater was responding to complaints forwarded through the committee by Mr Martin Dawson of the Department of Lands.

Mr Dawson said the department had received complaints from a resident about the council drain next to his jetty which he believed was contributing to sedimentation build up.
