Home industry refused

Gosford Council has refused an application allowing a property on Blackwall Rd, Woy Woy, to operate a wharf and jetty business as a "home industry".

A council report stated the site had allegedly been used for building wharves, but was stopped recently following complaints from neighbours.

The report stated that the proposal did not comply with the definition of a home industry and was better defined as an industrial use which was prohibited within the 2(b) Residential Zoning.

The motion for refusal was moved by Cr Trevor Drake, seconded by Cr Terri Latella, at council's meeting of June 13.
