Retaining wall tenders changed

Gosford Council will change its tenders for the stabilisation of a retaining wall on Mt Ettalong Rd, Patonga Dr and Pearl Beach Dr after three submissions came in over budget.

Director of corporate services Mr Nic Pasternatsky said that Council was changing the specifications of the work to fit within the budget and new tenders were being put out.

"We want the work to go ahead. We don't want to delay it," he said.

Mr Pasternatsky said the work would now not include a continuous rock retaining wall and footpaths.

The initial tender included rock bolting and shotcreting of the embankments and block retaining walls in Mount Ettalong Rd and Patonga Dr and construction of rock catch fencing in Pearl Beach Dr.
