Wharf would be home to ferries under boat shed plan
The Empire Bay Heritage Boat Shed Association has developed a business plan that would see the Empire Bay wharf used as a home base for the three ferries operated by Central Coast Ferries.
The remaining berths would be used by wooden vessels of heritage interest, including putt putts, at a subsidised berth rate.
The plan sees the Boat Shed restored and would house a number of artefacts related to the area's rich boat building history and possibly be open to a range of community uses.
The association said it had no intention to restore the facility to commercial use.
Another public meeting is planned to held at noon on Saturday, July 22, at the Boat Shed.
Invitees include local parliamentarians Member for Robertson Dr Gordon Reid, Minister for the Central Coast Mr David Harris, Member for Terrigal Mr Adam Crouch and Member for Gosford Ms Liesl Tesch.
"Hopefully, we can turn our politicians kind words in to meaningful support."
