Report sought on boating approvals

Gosford Council has asked for a report to its February meeting about the status of all boating facilities requiring approval and licensing, including moorings on St Huberts Island.

The council resolved that the St Huberts Island Residents Association be kept informed of Council's progress to have all facilities approved and licenced.

This resolution was adopted in a council meeting held on Tuesday, December 7, after Council liaised with residents of St Huberts Island to ensure boating facilitates within the canals on the Island were authorised and approved by Council.

Seven of the 46 pontoons and walkways on St Huberts Island were subject to deferred development consents and five facility owners of the 46 facilities provided written or verbal undertakings to submit development applications for facilities by the end of November.
