Resident survey completed

A resident survey has been completed for the Middle Creek Floodplain Risk Management Study of Pearl Beach.

Gosford Council's Floodplain management committee has been told that Stephen Thorne and Associates have been engaged to carry out an additional land survey of the Middle Creek floodplain required to establish additional flood events.

A draft summary of the resident survey recently completed in the area was tabled and the committee was informed of the floodplain risk management options that the local residents preferred.

The committed cost of this study project is $40,120.

This amount includes the cost of additional survey on-going at present.

To date, $6216 has been spent with two thirds contributed by Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Natural Resources.
