Council withdraws Bullion St carpark from sale

Umina's Bullion Street community car park has been withdrawn from sale by Central Coast Council.

The Central Coast Council called for expressions of interest last September from parties wishing to acquire and develop the Bullion St land.

At the time, the Peninsula Chamber of Commerce argued that the sale and development of the car park would cause traffic chaos and damage the thriving Umina town centre's economy.

The community backlash has resulted in Central Coast Council pulling its call for expressions of interest off the agenda.

The Chamber of Commerce reports that it has been assured the sale will not proceed and that there will be no future review of that decision without the participation of the Peninsula Chamber of Commerce.
