Wicks blames council for recreation precinct delays

Member for Robertson Ms Lucy Wicks has blamed Central Coast Council for delays in upgrading the Peninsula Recreation Precinct.

She said the funding agreement for the upgrade was with Council waiting to be signed and "funding should be available to the Council shortly".

Ms Wicks said initial council designs did not provide the two separate clubroom facilities requested by local sporting groups.

"The Morrison Government is absolutely committed to seeing the $8.25 million upgrade of the become a reality.

"This year alone, I've met with Central Coast Council 10 times regarding the delivery of this commitment and to advocate on behalf of local sporting groups, including the Umina United Eagles Soccer Club, Umina Bunnies Junior Rugby League Club and the Southern Spirit Cricket Club.

"These clubs have made it clear that they want two separate facilities, each with a club room, storage facilities, change rooms, toilets and a canteen.

"That's exactly what I intend to help deliver.

"Many of the initial designs we received from the Council didn't meet these requirements and simply weren't good enough.

"After numerous changes to the scope of this development, we're now at the stage of getting what our community wants and deserves.

"These buildings are much more than simple amenities.

"They're places where the local community can gather and belong.

"That is what this project is about.

"That is why I have fought so hard to get this project right, and I'll continue to advocate until it is delivered and used by all in our community."

Ms Wicks' statement follows criticism from Labor candidate for Robertson Dr Gordon Reid and Member for Gosford Ms Liesl Tesch calling for the money to be released.

"Almost three years after being promised, the Umina Recreation Hub Project has not yet attracted a single cent from the Federal Government," said Dr Reid.
