Rules prevent disaster relief service in CWA grounds
The Central Coast Disaster Relief group will be unable to operate from the grounds of the Woy Woy branch of the Country Women's Association because the grounds are not classified as public open space, according to CWA branch president Ms Jane Bowtell.
"Because we are not classified as an open space, every person that walks through the driveway gates is required by law to show a green tick," she said.
"As an emergency service, Central Coast Disaster Relief does not require visitors to show proof of vaccination."
She said the service operated this way in Gosford.
"This means hosting them would break both the current directive from our state office as well as the Public Health Order
"We are very saddened that we cannot host the service at this time, but are bound by the current rules that are in place.
"We have been and will continue to support them with donations any way we can."
