Delegation visits the Peninsula

A delegation of nine members of the Edogawa City Assembly and one senior staff member from Gosford's sister city of Edogawa, Japan, have visited the Peninsula.

They recently visited the Peninsula Leisure Centre and Peninsula Community Centre and theatre as part of a two-day visit.

Gosford mayor Cr Malcolm Brooks said the visit was short but very significant.

"The Japanese delegation is keen to learn more about our city and the visit will help forge newer and even stronger ties of mutual friendship between Gosford and Edogawa," said Mayor Brooks.

During the two-day visit, tourism in the local area was highlighted to the Edogawa delegation which visited sites including the Australian Reptile Park and the Gosford-Edogawa Commemorative Garden.

They also visited the Central Coast Stadium, Gosford Council Chambers, the Erina Centre and Library, Papalya Child Care Centre and the Fire Control Centre at Kariong.

Gosford signed its Sister City Agreement with Edogawa in May 1988.
