Opposition to development
Gosford Council has received a petition with five signatures from residents of Empire Bay, which objected to the development application for property 19 Rickard Rd, Empire Bay.
The petitioners told the council they were concerned with the storm water drainage from the property.
The storm water management plan indicated that storm water overflow was to the existing drainage easement.
However, the petitioners claimed that there was no existing system from the dwelling or the garage.
The petition stated that without Council intervention to clean all overgrowth from the easement to assist water flow, any additional storm water in this area could only add to the flooding problems.
