Council to reapply for foreshore funds

Gosford Council will resubmit a request for $280,000 for "Ettalong Foreshore Development" to the Federal Department of Transport and Regional Services, according to a council report.

The request will be made "when the Department of Lands gives their approval for work on their land", according to a council report.

The funds are from the Regional Partnerships grant.

Both the Umina Beach and Ocean Beach Surf Clubs are also awaiting funding of $350,000 each from NSW Surf Lifesaving.

The funds for the clubs would come from the NSW Surf Club Development Fund.

The report was prepared in response to a request to regularly update council on the number of grant applications submitted and the current status of those applications.

It also outlined the achievements of the council's grants officer during the first half of the year.
