Council to rezone club land

Gosford Council has resolved to prepare a Draft Local Environmental Plan to rezone the Ettalong Beach Club land on Memorial Ave, Ettalong Beach, to "Business", to allow seven-storey development.

Councillors voted on January 25 to prepare the local environment plan, which will be placed on public exhibition for six weeks.

The decision was made after the council received a report from Mr Brett Newbold of Brett Newbold Urban Planning/Urban Design, the consultant drafting the Peninsula Urban Directions Strategy for Gosford Council.

He described rezoning plans for the land as providing "an appropriate transition from the town centre to (adjacent) residential neighbourhoods".
