Call for dredging

Petitioners have contacted council regarding the dilapidated state of Mt Ettalong Creek, asking that the creek be dredged.

Council received a petition with 10 signatures from residents of Umina regarding the state of Mt Ettalong Creek.

The petitioners stated that they could no longer ignore the situation the creek was in, with the smell, pollution and the disappearance of the wild life.

The petitioners further stated that they had requested council's chief health and building inspector to have the water tested as they believe it was a total health hazard.

The petitioners have asked that the creek be dredged and to have council drain a section adjacent to Mt Ettalong Rd, Umina.
