Black Spot funds may be sought

Gosford Council may seek an extension to "Black Spot" funding for traffic lights on Ocean Beach Rd, Woy Woy.

Council's project development coordinator Ms Peter Dunn has said that works in Ocean Beach Rd to be funded by the Federal Blackspot Program were administered by the Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA).

"They are reviewed by the RTA prior to their commencement," Mr Dunn said.

"The RTA has advised that the various works for Ocean Beach Rd may be funded under the program."

Member for Robertson and Federal Minister for Roads, Mr Jim Lloyd, said Gosford Council had yet to approach him for a change in the scope of the funding for work at the intersection of Ocean Beach Rd and McMasters Rd.
