Greens call for vote on de-amalgamation
The Central Coast Greens have called for a popular vote on de-amalgamation to allow the community to indicate whether or not they support returning to the former Wyong and Gosford Local Government Areas.
"The push for the amalgamation of Wyong and Gosford Councils lacked a popular mandate and has angered locals," said Central Coast Greens media officer Ms Chantelle Baistow.
"Resentment is still present in our community today.
"If a poll determines that the community wishes to de-amalgamate, we believe the State Government should commit to a de-amalgamation and guarantee to cover the costs.
"Until the community has had its say regarding a possible de-amalgamation, the Central Coast Greens call for the sale of the Gosford Council offices to be immediately put on hold.
