Business group supports Tesrol

Another local business group has come out in support of the proposed Tesrol development at Ettalong.

The Tesrol development would create work opportunities now and in the future, according to Ettalong Beach Business Group president Mr Richard Berntsen.

Mr Berntsen said the proposed development would not only create construction and building jobs in Ettalong but also employment opportunities for shop keepers and businesses in the long term.

"Short and long term employment is positive for any town," Mr Berntsen said.

"With so many people forced to work off of the Peninsula, and even off of the Central Coast, this development could be a step in providing some with more local employment.

"The current site has been sitting as only a fairly maintained parking lot for as long as I have been living in Ettalong, and a development that will utilise the site, take advantage of the beautiful views, and create a retail hub is of huge benefit to the town and the greater community."
