Promise of $2M for foreshore

The Labor Government has committed $2 million to completing the next stage of the Ettalong Beach Foreshore redevelopment if re-elected.

The announcement was made by Federal Minister for Infrastructure and Local Government Mr Anthony Albanese and Federal Labor candidate for Robertson Ms Deborah O'Neill on August 13.

Mr Albanese said the Gillard Labor Government would invest in the "important piece of community infrastructure" which would include seawall improvements and a shared pathway along the Ettalong Beach foreshore.

"Investing in local infrastructure is part of Federal Labor's comprehensive economic plan that is helping build a stronger regional economy," Mr Albanese said.

Ms O'Neill welcomed the announcement as a boost to local residents and businesses alike.

"The redevelopment of the Ettalong Beach Foreshore will allow both locals and visitors a better chance to share in the unique way of life we enjoy here on the Central Coast," Ms O'Neill said.

"It will help us to showcase the natural beauty of our area.

"I'm proud too that we are building on Federal Labor's already substantial record of investment in community infrastructure on the Peninsula."
