No foreshore plan for Killcare

Director of community services Mr Phil Rowland has advised Gosford Council that the Brisbane Water foreshore at Killcare was covered by a generic foreshore reserves plan of management, created in 1996.

He was responding to a question by Cr Terri Latella relating to the possible implementation of a management plan for the waterfront.

The plan of management covered all Brisbane Water foreshore reserves which did not have a specific plan of management.

Killcare foreshore does not have a specific plan of management.

Cr Latella had previously asked if the area had a plan of management, and if not, what would be the appropriate process to make one, with the aid of community groups.

Mr Rowland commented that the process could take up to or more than 18 months to complete and cost council in the vicinity of $50,000, using the Yattalunga Foreshore plan as an example.
