Comments sought on wharf design

Public comments are being sought on three options for the upgrade of the Woy Woy Town Centre Wharf for public comment.

The options which were developed by Gosford Council were based on investigation and comments already received by interested groups and individuals.

Council is now seeking comments and suggestions from the community about the options, the provision of extra facilities and the style of roofing over the waiting areas and walkways.

The comments will be formally submitted to Council.

Council received funding under the 2009-10 NSW Maritime Better Boating Program to investigate the possible upgrade of the Woy Woy Town Centre Wharf.

Consultants were engaged by Gosford Council to prepare a concept design report on options available to improve the amenity and functionality of the Woy Woy Town Centre Wharf.

A foreshore wharf and floating pontoon system was designed to serve as a point of embarkation-disembarkation for recreational boats such as small power boats, sailing craft, as a fishing platform and facility for existing ferry services.

Comments should be submitted by February 29.
