Residents call for community consultation

Patonga residents have called on Gosford Council to have full community consultation on plans for a water and sewerage scheme on the western side of Patonga Creek.

In a petition to Gosford Council, residents said they understood Council was investigating the possibility of town water supply to their side of the creek to coincide with proposed works to provide a sewerage system.

They requested that a full public consultation with the usual notices and public forum be available to determine the wider community's view on the issue of a reticulated water supply.

Petitioners further requested simultaneous consultation on the sewerage project from last year be held again to ensure new figures were fully understood and duly considered by all residents.

They asked for details about the work that had been done to date for the possible water supply scheme.
