Work on oval masterplan continues

Gosford Council officers are continuing to work with the user groups and local businesses to develop a masterplan for the development of Woy Woy oval.

The failed request reported in the previous issue of Peninsula News for Regional Development Australia funding was part of a joint initiative between Council and the user groups to seek additional funding to Council's contribution of $1.75 million towards the redevelopment of the grandstand, according to council open space co-ordinator Ms Karen Tucker.

Woy Woy Oval remains operational including the amenities building despite the seating area of the grandstand remains closed off due to decay of the roof structure, she said.

Funding allocated by Council would be used to redevelop the grandstand but also to leverage further grant funding "to allow a development reflective of the regional status of the oval".
