Woy Woy wharf plan to be displayed

A concept design for the Woy Woy Town Centre Wharf will be placed on public exhibition from January to February, next year.

The design was the result of a study commissioned by Gosford Council into the current and future usage of the Woy Woy Town Centre Wharf and identification of future boating needs at this site.

The study involved preparing concept layouts of the wharf area adjoining The Boulevarde streetscape and to provide a report detailing the decisions made in preparing those layouts.

The development of the concept report was the subject of a number of representations from groups and individuals within the local community.

Contact was made by Council with NSW Maritime, Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water, Department of Primary Industries (NSW Fisheries), Hawkesbury River Trawler Association, NSW Police, Marine Rescue, Brisbane Water Users Group and the local commercial ferry operators.

A public meeting was also held to gather information and to assess the needs of the boating and general community as well as a vessel usage investigation undertaken in the area.

The report presented with three options which addressed boating needs and took into consideration the comments received by interested groups and individuals.

Landscape architects were engaged to prepare perspective images of each of the options for presentation purposes to the public.
