Replacing timber
Gosford Council intends to replace the walkway surrounding Woy Woy Tidal Baths before Australia Day celebrations at the end of the month, according to council's coordinator of parks, playgrounds and foreshores Ms Kim Radford.
"For safety reasons, council was forced to remove rotting timber around Woy Woy Baths which was well over 20 years old," Ms Radford said.
"A council crew in the process of replacing the timber was called off to another job which caused a delay in the project.
"However, council has every intention of ensuring it is replaced in time for Australia Day festivities at Woy Woy waterfront on January 26."
Ms Radford said the Woy Woy Tidal Baths were still open for the public to use throughout the hot summer months.
