Meeting to discuss coastal planning

Coastal Residents Inc will hold a public meeting from 10am to noon at Woy Woy Leagues Club on Saturday, November 26, to discuss the coastal planning being developed by Gosford Council.

Secretary Mr Pat Aiken said: "The planning for failure of Gosford Council identifies homes planned to become the future intertidal zones of Brisbane Waters then followed by controls on renovation and new home construction."

"Suburbs affected include Woy Woy, Patonga, Ettalong, Booker Bay, Koolewong, Tascott and Point Clare together with open coastal beaches and suburbs on the northern side of Brisbane Waters," he said.

The last public meeting held at Davistown on Saturday, October 8, was attended by over 300 people, he said.

Mr Aiken said the focus of this meeting would be to explain to residents how, with their support, Coastal Residents Inc could encourage the state and local government to adopt plans that would remove the uncertainty of sea level rise and coastal erosion forecasts.
