Contribution was development condition

I refer to my letter in Peninsula News (February 21) under the heading "Courageous foreshore decision".

I am informed by the Ettalong War Memorial Club that the contribution of $300,000 was a condition of the development approval granted by Gosford Council in 1998.

I understand payment of the levy is due shortly and the amount was specified to be used for Ettalong foreshore upgrade purposes.
