Group starts campaign against over-development

All Woy Woy residents with housing that is zoned R1 General Residential have been invited to join the Save Our Woy Woy campaign against over-development on the Peninsula.

"Every older style property that comes on the market is being targeted by developers," said Save Our Woy Woy group founder Mr Harvey McDougall.

"We need to be diligent in our efforts to stop or alter this to protect our community."

He said the extent of the area currently zoned R1 Residential showed how important it was for residents to raise their concerns about future development applications "to avoid Woy Woy becoming another Sydney suburb".

Save Our Woy Woy group has met to continue its campaign against DA54551 for Farnell Rd which has been referred back to the applicant by Central Coast Council.

Mr McDougall said anyone interested in the group's campaign could join their Facebook page and attend a future meeting at Woy Woy Leagues Club.

He said he also encouraged residents concerned about over-development to attend the Central Coast Council Listening Post to be held at Deepwater Plaza on Saturday, October 20.

The three ward representatives Cr Richard Mehrtens, Cr Chris Holstein and Cr Troy Marquat are expected to be available between10am to 12pm.

"We will be doing a letterbox drop all around the Woy Woy area that has the same zoning rules as the development on the corner of Blackwall Rd and Farnell Rd that we are objecting to," Mr McDougall said.
