Central Coast Council confused about flooding?

I write regarding the article Woy Woy Bay Flood Study Starts in Peninsula News on July 2, having a long-held interest in local flooding, ever since many of my friends and neighbours had their houses inundated because of Council enabling developers to fill the former Lake Ettymalong with crushed rock and other materials.

Another flood study is just the ticket (we love a good flood study here in South Umina), but Woy Woy Bay?

Woy Woy Bay consists of one street and possibly two if you count Railway St.

Any flood events to the Woy Woy business centre are well documented and usually a result of king tides pushing up through the street drains.

I can tell Council that the most recent flood, about six months ago, brought flood to within 200 millimetres of flooding the newest building in Woy Woy, right opposite the stadium and a building approved by Council so they must know more about flood potential of Woy Woy than all the residents combined.

I think I'm confused or is it Central Coast Council?
