Foreshore deed status questioned

The status of a deed of agreement between Gosford Council and the Ettalong Beach Memorial Club has been questioned at a recent council meeting.

Cr Terri Latella asked about the deed which concerns the Ettalong Foreshore Plan of Management at council's meeting on July 26.

She asked if a contribution of $300,000 had been received from the club and, if the money was not received and conditions not met, whether the deed had lapsed.

Cr Latella also asked for copies of documents which she had requested previously including the deed of agreement, Plan of Management 99, letter to landscaper requesting plan of management and all other relevant documents.

The director of city services Mr Stephen Glenn said that there was a deed of agreement between Council and the club.

"My understanding is that council has not received the $300,000 to be paid under the deed," Mr Glenn said.

Mr Glenn said he would organise for the documents to be delivered to Cr Latella and, in relation to the conditions associated with the payment of the $300,000, he would advise Cr Latella at a later date.
