Lobbying for bypass study

The Bays Community Group would continue to lobby all levels of government to support a feasibility study for a bypass of Bulls Hill in Woy Woy Rd, according to its president Mr Bob Puffett.

"Woy Woy Rd at Bulls Hill is open to traffic in both directions again, thanks to Gosford Council staff and support from the NSW Roads and Traffic Authority," he said.

"But it seems, disappointingly, the State Government is not prepared to consider a feasibility study into a new by-pass road and the Federal Government is simply saying that this is a State Government matter.

"It seems to me that the State Government has failed to recognise and appreciate the significance of a by-pass road for the future of the Peninsula and the expected population growth anticipated for the Central Coast.

"We will continue to lobby governments and Gosford Council for support to undertake at least the feasibility study.

"The study should be the basis on which a decision is made about a by-pass road.

"It's not good enough to just wave it away and put it in the black hole."
