No action on jetskis

Gosford Council will not take action on the use of jetskis on Brisbane Water, claiming it does not have authority.

The council has told petitioners who had complained about the jetskis that the use of jetskis falls under the control of the Maritime Authority of NSW.

In a letter to the petitioners, the council stated that the decision of banning or extending the restrictions on the use jetskis was at the discretion of the Authority.

The council had received a petition with 21 signature requesting council ban the sport on Brisbane Water, or to close the Ettalong Beach boat ramp and to add an exclusion zone for Ettalong and Umina Beaches.
