Comment encouraged on Patonga plan

Member for Gosford Mr Chris Holstein Stoner is encouraging the community to comment on the draft plan to manage Crown reserves in Patonga Village, Patonga Caravan and Camping Area and the Dark Corner Cottages.

"The plan has been prepared in partnership with Gosford City Council and provides a strategic guide to future planning and vital foreshore linkages," Mr Stoner said.

"The plan seeks to improve the use of the Crown reserves and facilities through enhancing the operation and functionality of Crown reserves through improving picnic areas, playgrounds and access to Brisk Bay, managing environmental and heritage values and encouraging tourism."

Mr Holstein said Patonga had tremendous potential for the community and holiday visitors if the draft plan's vision was realised.

"It is a proactive plan to improve the environmental and recreational facilities and I urge people to take a look and make their views known," Mr Holstein said.

The draft Plan of Management will be advertised for six weeks.

Copies of the draft plan may be viewed at Patonga Caravan and Camping Area and Woy Woy Library.

Submissions can be sent to MaitlandCrownLands@lands.nsw.gov.au.
