ACF branch calls for retention of Peninsula open space
Central Coast branch of the Australian Conservation Foundation has called on Central Coast Council not to sell off any open space on the Peninsula.
The lack of open space on the Peninsula has already made the Peninsula's suburbs in the 10 hottest suburbs on the Coast, said branch president Mr Mark Ellis.
"The land surface temperature across the Woy Woy Peninsula is increasing every year," he said.
"Umina, Ettalong, Booker Bay and Woy Woy are in the top 10 hottest suburbs on the Coast.
"Woy Woy also has the greatest area of impervious cover on the coast at 3.94 square kilometres, followed by Umina Beach at 3.54 square kilometres.
"Yet the council wants to sell off even more of the dwindling open space on the Woy Woy Peninsula."
Mr Ellis urged residents to email theadministrator@centralcoast.nsw.gov.au and ask@centralcoast.nsw.gov.au to say that livability is more important than money.
