No action on laneway

Gosford Council's has resolved that no further action be taken to close the east-west laneway between Cambridge St and Wellington St, Umina Beach, following a decision two years ago to defer the matter.

Council resolved in May 2003 to defer a request for the permanent closure of the unnamed laneway to allow an inspection of the site.

In September 2003 councillors referred the matter back to the committee to investigate the use of a midblock closure at the east-west section of the laneway.

A report from the committee stated that a site inspection showed that the two north-south laneways between Cambridge St and Wellington St were closed to through traffic and that the east-west laneyway provided access to the rear of properties and was unlikely to attract through traffic.
