Infrastructure must come first

I agree with the Central Coast Mayor Cr Jane Smith that infrastructure must come first, well before excessive development benefiting only a few.

The Woy Woy cycleway has two major parking areas at the beginning and end with a reduced size dust bowl at the McMasters Rd entrance and a brilliant car park at the Lions Park boat ramp exit.

At the McMasters Rd car park, there is a major drain that is very successful at picking up silt from Rodgers Park and the golf club and dumping it into the ever-decreasing waterway.

It would be great if the drain had a gross pollution trap that could contain the silt, cans, bottles, mattresses and so and it could be cleaned out on a regular basis to keep our waterway clean.

State Government grants have been available in the past for projects like this and should be available now.
