Funding approved for rock slide sites

Gosford Council has resolved to approve funding to prevent damage from rock slides near roads at two locations on the Peninsula.

The locations include Memorial Ave at Blackwall, Mt Ettalong Rd in southern Umina and Patonga Dr.

Council resolved that funding of $25,000 would be allocated to immediate slope stabilisation works at Memorial Ave.

The cost of a rock safety catch fence on Mt Ettalong Rd, including its design, was $65,000, which council has now approved.
