Find dredging money

Please Cr Holstein, spare me the politics over the Ettalong dredging.

Claiming that the State Government should pay all the cost of the channel dredging ignores the fact that often major and important infrastructure works, whether it be roads, flood mitigation or channel dredging, requires some State or Federal funding usually on a 50:50 basis.

Cr Holstein knows this all too well.

He doesn't knock back handouts from the Government for flooding in Narara or fixing council's Woy Woy Rd, even though they are council's responsibilities.

You can't have it both ways.

Council should be finding the money and stop putting its head in the proverbial sand.
