Council withdraws amended plans

The fight to save one of the last remnant bushland blocks on the Woy Woy Peninsula has moved into another phase.

With amended plans for development of the Catholic-owned land on the corner of Hillview St and Veron Rd, Woy Woy, to go on public exhibition from July 20, Gosford Council has withdrawn the plans without explanation.

This is yet another example of the transparency of council's decision-making and processes being sadly lacking.

The amended plans, still with 41 units, are gross over-development of the site.

An ecological endangered community has been deemed to exist throughout the site, not just in small sections previously described by the developer's consultants.

This wondrous piece of paradise should remain 100 per cent intact as community open space.
