Move boarding house to Woy Woy

The long wait for the decision by the Land and Environment Court on the Ettalong boarding house is indeed frustrating (PN Forum, 11 Jan 2016).

Could the applicant for the boarding house plan perhaps be persuaded to change his mind?

There is an ugly, long-standing empty block opposite the Woy Woy railway station.

In that location a boarding house would do nobody any harm and it would have all the facilities nearby - train station, bus interchange, doctors, chemists and the police.

I don't think that a boarding house on that spot would be very controversial at all.

It would also beautify and bring more life to a dilapidated area.

Peninsula Chamber of Commerce, if you win your case, try to inspire the developer to move it over there.

One more ugly site gone and Ettalong will keep its lovely relaxed atmosphere.
