Council rejects Peninsula submissions

Central Coast Council has rejected submissions from the Peninsula asking for changes to the council's operational plan for 2017-18.

A submission asking the council to spend money to rectify flooding issues along nine local Peninsula roads was dismissed by the council.

The submission requested that the council included funding to fix flooding in Onslow, MacKenzie, Watkins, Veron, Shephard, Sea, Connex and Lovell at Woy Woy.

Various comments and suggestions were also received by council relating to Horsfield Bay, Phegans Bay and Woy Woy Bay.

No change to the draft plan resulted from any of the requests or suggestions.

The submissions were among the 77 submissions received by Central Coast Council during the exhibition of its draft operational plan for 2017-18.

In a report presented to administrator Mr Ian Reynolds, which used the term "Council" to describe council staff, he was told: "Council recognises and appreciates community feedback and is committed to continuing to engage with the community.

"It is proposed that council formally note and consider those submissions.

"An individual and detailed response will be provided to each submitting author," the staff report said.

The draft operational plan was displayed at both Umina and Woy Woy libraries.
