Platform at intersection

A raised platform will be installed at the intersection of Flathead Rd and Schnapper Rd, Ettalong, following a resolution from Gosford Council.

Council had originally planned to construct a speed hump at the intersection, but following a public consultation, has since resolved to install a raised platform.

The raised platform would be similar to the type at the intersections on The Esplanade at Kourong St and Barrenjoey Rd, Ettalong Beach.

A report from Council's traffic committee stated that the raised platform would be acceptable as it performed a traffic calming effect for all legs of the intersection.

It said that such a device was not considered to have a detrimental effect on the surrounding streets.
