Mayor criticises non-complying development approvals Central Coast mayor Cr Jane Smith has criticised the number of non-complying development applications being approved by the Council.
She said findings from ICAC reports showed that it was when councils did not enforce their own planning controls that it created problems. Cr Smith said it was extremely disappointing “that our community spends a lot of time and effort in developing and consulting and being a part of the development of local environment plans and development control plans with the expectation that our council will enforce those planning guidelines and controls”. She said Gosford Council had a reputation for not enforcing its planning controls. “So I had hoped that, as a new council, we could provide certainty to our community and certainty to developers by adopting a decisionmaking process that did reflect our community’s expectations from being involved in that planning,” she said. Most recent applications for multiple dwelling developments on the Peninsula have been approved, despite not complying with the council’s development control plan (DCP). “Although the DCP perhaps does not have the strength of a local environment plan and one non-compliance may be considered acceptable to have so many non-compliances I would think sets a poor precedent for future development,” Smith said. Cr Kyle MacGregor said: “The most important issue we are dealing with here is what is the point of having planning controls if people won’t comply with them. “I believe we should be getting people to do their best to comply,”
Cr MacGregor said. “In the event there is massive variations and they are not able to comply I think we should have a very stringent look at that,” he said. The councillors were speaking at the final Council meeting for 2018, successfully arguing for the refusal of not a Peninsula development but a Terrigal development which council planners had recommended be approved. Cr Smith’s grounds for refusal were based on nine noncompliances with the development control plan. The non-compliances she listed were similar to, or the same as, non-compliances with a growing number of residential developments that are being approved by Council on the Peninsula. “To approve this development when there is such noncompliance with the DCP would be to create an expectation for similar concessions,” Cr Smith said. Cr Smith’s reasons for refusal included non-compliance with setbacks, communal space, deep soil zones, and side boundary setbacks, activation of a laneway. Such non-compliances have been regularly accepted, and used as precedents, when included in Peninsula development applications but Cr Smith appears to have drawn a line in the sand when it came to the Terrigal development. Cr Smith said she was interested in reaching out to the Peninsula community to learn more about their concerns regarding the number of developments applications lodged with Council that did not comply with the current Local Environment Plan or Development Control Plan.

Station building may become retail space The upper level at Woy Woy railway station may be used as retail space.
Sydney Trains is offering the station’s former ticket office for lease. The 28sqm ticket office is being advertised through commercial
property agent specialists Real Commercial. The former ticket office site has been listed for a five-year lease as a retail space. No price was available with the listing but key selling points included Woy Woy station’s role as a major transportation hub for the
southern Central Coast and the areas predicted residential growth rate. The listing also stated that the station sees over 115,000 passenger movements monthly. SOURCE: Website, 10 Jan 2019 Andrew Mednick, Real Commercial
Measles alert issued for the Peninsula NSW Health has issued a measles alert for the Peninsula after a tourist who visited Woy Woy and Umina over Christmas was diagnosed with the disease.
The tourist from Canberra visited the Peninsula between December 26 and 30 and made several visits to popular community locations including Jasmine Greens Kiosk, Umina Beach Shopping Centre and Deepwater Plaza.
According to NSW Health’s communicable diseases director Dr Vicky Sheppeard, anyone who visited these locations at the same time should be aware of symptoms. “The time from exposure to the disease to the onset of symptoms is typically about 10 days but can be as long as 18 days so people should be alert to symptoms until mid-January,” Dr Sheppeard said. The infection is highly contagious and can spread through coughing or sneezing.
Measles symptoms include fever, sore eyes and a cough followed three or four days later by a red, blotchy rash spreading from the head and neck to the rest of the body. Infants under 12 months, who are too young to be vaccinated, and young adults are most likely to be susceptible to the infection, Dr Sheppeard said.

Umina’s street tree group, Grow Urban Shade Trees, is calling on Peninsula residents to provide feedback on the council’s draft tree policy which is currently on exhibition.
Ferry service should be back to normal this week The ferry service between Wagstaffe, Ettalong and Palm Beach should be back to normal this week.
New ferry owner, the NRMA, advised Peninsula News on Friday afternoon that it had the “all clear” from NSW Roads and Maritime Services for full services to Wagstaffe and Ettalong. The service was planned to start today (Monday). The first service out of Wagstaffe was due to leave at 5:50am this morning and from Ettalong at 6am, with 10 return services from each location daily. Services between Palm Beach and Ettalong and Wagstaffe have not run since April and commuters have needed to make their own way to and from Patonga in order to utilise the ferry to Sydney’s northern beaches. Member for Gosford Ms Liesl Tesch said on Thursday she had received confirmation that the ferry operator, Fantasea Cruises, was conducting test runs of the navigation channel to determine whether or not it was safe to resume its full service.
She said that the dredge was still working off Lobster Beach. The Wagstaffe-Killcare Community Association circulated a dredging update to its members on the same day which stated: “We have been advised by the Department of Lands that dredging operations in the Ettalong Channel should reach a stage next week to enable ferry services to complete their safety testing. “The channel mouth off Little Box Head where the original problem arose has been made 60m wide and is now clear. “The final stage of dredging off Lobster Beach will provide a 30m wide channel with a minimum clearance at low tide of some 2.5m. “After ferries resume, this will be widened further to 40m. “Roads and Maritime will then move the channel markers to delineate the new channel boundaries.” Ms Tesch said the resumption of the full ferry service would be welcomed by the local community and business operators but the NSW Government’s efforts to provide the Peninsula with a safe and operational navigation channel
still needed scrutiny. “I have put questions on notice in the Legislative Assembly about how many days the dredge has worked and not worked,” she said. “The Minister’s suggestion that the ferry could run a tidal service and use the channel on mediumto high-tides is not tenable. “It would have meant people could take the ferry trip to Palm Beach in the morning but be stuck at Patonga on the return trip. “This government has already spent over $1 million on emergency dredging but my questions have revealed it had no plans of introducing a shuttle bus for commuters between Patonga and the other regular ferry stops. “We know a long term solution is needed and we know $1.255 million with the same amount matched by Council will not be near enough to ensure the ferry service does not have to be diverted for another seven months at some stage in the future,” she said.

Group member Ms Debbie Sunartha said the group had found an increasing demand for urban shade tree planting and education. “Our volunteers are working overtime to meet the community’s growing demand.” However, she said council policies were exacerbating the situation. “As Council as rolls out large projects, our group has observed that mature trees that once shaded our walk home or kept the car cool in summer are being removed at an extremely fast rate,” she said. “Tree advocates across the Central Coast feel that policy is urgently needed to support developers, both residential and commercial, to understand that trees are an asset which adds value to properties and to make all efforts to retain and/or replace
them,” Ms Sunartha said. Ms Sunartha quoted a public statement by mayor Cr Jane Smith that “maintaining our natural assets is a critical component of what we value as a community”. “Jane Smith is asking residents to plant a tree, but what we have discovered is that with minimal resources allocated to trees, residents are unsure of what and where to plant,” Ms Sunartha said. Ms Sunartha said Grow Urban Shade Trees aimed to help the Peninsula community select and plant new shade trees. “The group is spreading the word on the value of trees for cooler streetscapes, added beauty, wildlife habitat, clean air, energy savings and water storage,” she said. She encouraged Peninsula residents to view the tree policy and provide feedback to address the increasing heat-bowl effect in our suburbs. Council’s tree policy is available on the Your Voice Our Coast website. SOURCE: Media release, 12 Nov 2018 Debbie Sunartha, GUST

Community up in arms over clearing of Crown Land
T
he NSW Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) has launched an official compliance investigation into alleged clearing of Crown Land at MacMasters Beach, while Central Coast Council continues to work, with multiple agencies, on an investigation of alleged clearing without permission on private land at a James Norton Rd property, located between Bensville and MacMasters Beach. For over two weeks, concerned MacMasters Beach residents have been waiting for Central Coast Council, and or OEH, to respond to reports of what they consider to be clearing of bushland by a private landowner without appropriate permissions. Coast Community News has contacted a family member of the land owners, believed to be three siblings, and they are expected to issue a statement through their legal representatives. Kel Butcher, spokesperson for the unnamed group of concerned MacMasters Beach residents, said that over two weeks ago, one of his neighbours heard machinery in the bush, “went and had a look, and saw two machines starting to clear the bush. “He was told it was only clearing along the fence line, but the contractor went on to clearing large patches of land that had nothing to do with the boundary fence,” Butcher said.
Note how little the man is in relation to space cleared
“Big trees have been cut down in addition to the bush that has been cleared with the machines,” he said. Butcher said residents were particularly concerned about clearing that has occurred on non-private land, since confirmed as Crown Land. A neighbouring property has a native conservation caveat over some of its land which has also, allegedly, been cleared, along with remnant rainforest on the Crown Land at the MacMasters Beach end of the property. The site has been visited by Central Coast Mayor, Jane Smith, Member for Terrigal, Adam Crouch, and Labor Candidate for the seat of Terrigal, Central Coast Councillor, Jeff Sundstrom.
Police have also been called to the area on several occasions since the land clearing commenced. “The Mayor was fairly guarded in her comments. “It’s nice that she came to visit, and we all respect the fact that there is an investigation underway,” Butcher said. “What we want to know is why it has taken so long for someone to make a decision about what is allowable and what is not allowable. “It is 16 days since this started, we know Council has issued the stop work order, but is there going to be any punitive action for the damage caused? “We have not yet been told what remedies are available. “OEH has jurisdiction over
the public land, but we are just going around in circles at the moment, nobody is taking responsibility for what is happening. “No one is saying ‘yes’, this is our jurisdiction, but we also do understand that it is a complex investigation by Council, and they are saying that they are doing everything in their power. “There are quite a few adjoining neighbours keeping an eye and ear out for any further action that may take place. “We have a very concerned community group that will respond very quickly if anything does happen. “The chainsawed trees included 100, or more, year old angophoras, and you won’t
get trees of that maturity back for the next three generations, and they are habitat, once they are down, they are lost for generations. “We all respect people and we understand that land owners have rights, but we want things done according to the law and through the right channels, we don’t think anyone can just go in and ignore the laws and destroy the bush like that.” Adam Crouch issued a statement on Monday, November 19, that National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) and Central Coast Council were working together and had appropriately intervened to prevent any further illegal clearing. “I thank the number of local
residents who contacted me and brought this to my attention,” Crouch said. “As such, I was subsequently able to arrange for Central Coast Council to take necessary steps, including a stop work notification,” he said. “No clearing of native vegetation on a private property can be undertaken without Council approvals and oversight. “NPWS and Council rangers have been patrolling the site on a very frequent basis. “Thank you to the Macmasters Beach community for their ongoing vigilance, and I stand with them in not tolerating any illegal clearing in our local area,” Crouch said. Compliance officers from OEH subsequently inspected the site, which resulted in the official compliance investigation being launched. On Thursday, November 15, the Member for Gosford, Liesl Tesch, had sent urgent emails to the NSW Minister for Lands, Paul Toole, and the Minister for the Environment, Gabrielle Upton, as a result of calls from distressed members of the local community. “The community in the Terrigal electorate are very concerned re tree felling on a border between private and Crown Land between Bensville and the Scenic Drive, DP659496, 20 James Norton Rd, Bensville,” Tesch’s email to the Ministers said. The property is zoned 7A, including endangered ecological community, protected under the Biodiversity Conservation Act.

Environment report finds that hundreds of people are dying premature deaths P
ublicly available air quality monitoring should be conducted at Wyee, a community with an aging coal-fired power station, but with no current air m o n i t o r i n g , according to a new report into the health burden of fine particle pollution from coal-fired power stations. According to the report, over the remaining 12 years of operational life for Vales Point, it will result in 547 additional deaths, 475 lower birth weight babies, and 709 additional cases of new onset diabetes. In the remaining 12 years of operation for Eraring, it will lead to 1,219 additional expected deaths, 1,058 low birth weight babies, and 1,579 additional cases of new onset diabetes. Local residents will have an opportunity to discuss the findings of the report at a public forum on Thursday, November 29. The report’s author, Dr Ben Ewald, Senior Lecturer at the University of Newcastle’s Centre for Clinical Epidemiology
Dr Ben Ewald and Biostatistics, and, Dr James Whelan, from Environmental Justice Australia (EJA), will be guest speakers at the meeting, to be held at the Wyee Community Hall from 6:30 to 8:00pm. Mike Campbell from the Community Environment Network (CEN) will also speak at the meeting. EJA recently commissioned the report into the health impacts of air pollution from NSW power stations.
It is the first report of its kind in Australia. The report found that coal-fired power stations are one of the biggest sources of air pollution in Australia, causing asthma and other respiratory problems, reduced birthweight, diabetes and premature death. It concluded that public health is impacted in communities near power stations and up to 200km away, and that air pollution is poorly
controlled in NSW. Vales Point Power Station, at Mannering Park, is the only one out of the five still operating in NSW that is located within the Central Coast local government area, but the nearby Eraring Power Station, in the Lake Macquarie LGA, would, according to the report, also have detrimental health impacts on the Central Coast community. “The form of pollution that has the strongest
effect on health is fine particles (PM2.5) and one of the major sources of PM2.5 in the Sydney Greater Metropolitan region is burning coal for electricity,” the report said. “Eraring and Vales Point … make the largest contribution to the health burden from power generation, since prevailing weather patterns are most likely to carry pollutants from these sources into the Sydney basin where
the largest population resides,” it said. “The continued operation of all the coalfired generators in NSW imposes a substantial health burden that could be alleviated by imposing stricter licensing conditions for operators that would require postcombustion capture of sulphur dioxide (SO2) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx), or by bringing forward closure of plants.” “It’s shocking to think that based on the current operating life of the five power stations, the air pollution they produce will kill 3,429 more people,” Ewald said. “As a Newcastle doctor, I knew that air pollution from coal fired power stations is harming local communities, but as a researcher, I never imagined that the scale of their impact would be so severe,” he said. “Literally hundreds of people are dying premature deaths every year because of coalfired power.” The study coincides with the review of pollution licences for the Vales Point and Eraring Power Stations.

Premier’s proposed fast train study met with support and scepticism
N
SW Premier, Gladys Berejiklian, visited Gosford Train Station on December 5, to announce that the Central Coast would benefit from significantly reduced travel times, after being included in one of the four proposed fast rail routes identified by the NSW Government. In July, the government released, A 20-Year Economic Vision for Regional NSW. One of the key elements of that vision is better connectivity between regional centres, and from cities and international gateways. Premier Berejiklian said a fast rail network is a game changing project which would attract more investment and generate new job opportunities for the Central Coast. “We know fast rail would transform the way people get to and from the Central Coast forever,” Berejiklian said. “It would slash travel times allowing more people to leave the car at home and catch the train to either Sydney or Newcastle,” she added. The delivery of fast rail to the Central Coast has the potential to reduce travel times by up to 75 per cent. The NSW Government has appointed Professor Andrew McNaughton, to lead an expert panel to provide advice to the Premier on how the government should best deliver a fast rail network to connect the state. “Long distance fast and high speed rail studies have been undertaken in Australia over many years,” Premier Berejiklian said.
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian, with Member for Terrigal, Adam Crouch and the Liberal candidate for Gosford, Sue Dengate, at Gosford Train Station
“These studies have usually focused on linking the major Eastern Seaboard cities of Sydney, Brisbane, Canberra and Melbourne, and focused on rail as a competitor to air and road transport options. “Most of the studies found that the costs and required ticket prices of an interstate high-speed rail network would be insurmountably high compared to likely customer volumes. “Until now, limited work has been done on the potential for a fast rail network connecting regional cities within NSW. “The Fast Rail Network Strategy will, for the first time, provide a comprehensive assessment focused on connecting regional cities,” Berejiklian said. “The NSW Government is committed to moving from
high-level vision to planning, and on to delivery,” the Premier continued. “Having a strategy will ensure that future investment decisions on fast rail are well considered. “Preparing the Fast Rail Network Strategy in 2019 is the first significant step in taking the network from vision to delivery,” she said. Under the Strategy, preliminary works will commence on that first stage of the fast rail network in the next term of government, if the Liberal Nationals retain power. Member for Terrigal, Adam Crouch, joined the Premier in making her announcement and said a fast rail link from the Central Coast to Sydney and Newcastle would transform the region. “This announcement is also
on top of the New Intercity Fleet Trains which will enter service late next year,” Crouch said. Sue Dengate, Liberal Candidate for Gosford, said fast rail will be a huge boost for the Central Coast. “Faster travel times will mean that workers can spend less time commuting and more time with their families,” Dengate said. Following the Premier’s announcement, several Central Coast government agencies, politicians, development agencies and community figures weighed in on the Coast’s possible inclusion on the fast train route. Federal Member for Robertson, Lucy Wicks, said faster rail for the region was a dream many residents of the Central Coast would like to see
realised. “We have many residents who leave the Coast early in the morning and return to their families late in the evening due to job opportunities being in Sydney and Newcastle, and so today’s announcement is very welcomed. “This announcement builds on the process that was first started in September 2017 when the Federal Government launched the Faster Rail Prospectus at Gosford Station, and this Prospectus was all about calling for new and upgraded rail infrastructure to help link cities and the regions,” Wicks said. “This announcement has huge potential for the Central Coast and will slash commute times and has huge returns for residents. “This announcement is for
our hard working commuters and those people who use our trains on a regular basis who want to live on the Central Coast and be linked to two great cities that surround it, Sydney and Newcastle,” Wicks said. Central Coast Council Mayor, Jane Smith, has welcomed the State Government’s announcement of a northern high speed rail route which could reduce travel times between Sydney and the Central Coast. Mayor Smith said this would make a significant difference to thousands of Central Coast residents who commute to Sydney every day, often spending up to four hours a day on a return train journey between the Coast and their destination. “We know commuting is a major issue for our community, with many Coasties having to travel off the Coast every day for work or study,” Mayor Smith said. “Reducing the commute to Sydney from around 90 minutes to 30 minutes would allow the community to have an additional two hours per day or as much as 10 hours per week for other activities at home or in their community, like spending time with their family, rather than sitting on a train,” Mayor Smith said. “This could also have a flow on effect of encouraging those who drive to Sydney each day to leave their cars at home and hop on a train, which would also reduce traffic on our major roads and deliver benefits to the environment.

Action taken to protect the largest fresh water wetland on the Central Coast S
ignificant steps have been taken to achieve the p e r m a n e n t protection of Porters Creek Wetland, the largest fresh water wetland on the Central Coast.
Mayor, Jane Smith, has made the permanent protection of the Porters Creek Wetlands one of her major goals as the first Mayor of the amalgamated Council. She said it was a “critical part of the bigger picture for that area” in terms of how surrounding land could be developed to create employment. “The former Wyong Council, for some 20 years, and different people, have been recognising its value and it needs protection, and they just haven’t been able to deliver what is required,” she said. “So I am really pleased that we are making progress.” She said the report considered at the Monday, December 10, Central Coast Council meeting put in place the need to reclassify the SEPP14 (protected) wetland from Operational land to Community land, to ensure it could not be sold off. “I think that is an important first step. “There have been numerous studies of the wetlands and part of the resolution was to pull that information together and

“There are provisions within the agreement for “in-perpetuity conservation. “Council would be able to sell credits and receive an annual management payment to service the BSA. “This can provide permanent protection for the management of biodiversity and allow for the creation of biodiversity credits for sale. “The resulting stewardship site generates biodiversity credits which represent the expected improvement in biodiversity that will result from the protection and management of the site. “A landholder (Council) can sell the biodiversity credits to a developer, the NSW Biodiversity Conservation Trust, or other interested parties. “Once credits are sold, the site needs to be maintained in perpetuity. “The potential credit status of the Porters Creek wetland land parcels would need to be assessed. “A BSA is registered on the land title. “When land that includes a BSA is sold, then the new owner takes over the obligations of the stewardship agreement and in return receives payments from the Biodiversity Stewardship Payments Fund.” Another strategy would be to donate the land to National Parks.
“NPWS would assess the value for use as a national Park, its diversity and cultural heritage values, recreational opportunities, park management benefits and economic impacts. “The land would need to align with the NSW National Parks System Directions Statement. “This is a strong level of protection. “The national Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 is the legal framework to protect and manage nationally and internationally important flora, fauna, ecological communities and heritage places. “Under the Act, the Federal Environment Minister may declare a specified wetland to be of international importance (often called 'Ramsar' wetlands after the international treaty under which such wetlands are listed). “There are presently 12 Ramsar wetland sites in NSW, the closest being Hunter Estuary Wetlands, and Myall Lakes. “The nomination process would include comments from the State. “The process is long [and] a declaration would be unlikely.

Umina and Ettalong, as well as Toukley, Long Jetty, Budgewoi, Avoca and Kincumber, would become “major town centres … all of which should have a targeted and coordinated place activation focus for Council”. “It is a key finding of this review that a more formalised and centrist approach is required within Council to ensure that we are properly servicing the identified principal and major town centres,” the review written by council staff said “To meet this objective, an expansion of responsibilities and staffing would be needed,” it said. The review also identified a “gap in the regional delivery of economic development for the Central Coast, particularly by Central Coast Council. “Key aspects of strategic economic development linked to the needs of expectations of the community, such as sustainability, jobs generation, transport planning and support of innovation and start up businesses, are not currently being adequately addressed,” the review said. The aim of the review was
to “focus on holistic place management and activation, effectively addressing the interdependencies between effective asset management, marketing and promotion, tourism, business development, economic development and delivery of quality events within key precincts. “The future management of town centres should aim to provide a strategic, streamlined and costeffective approach, to ensure priority service delivery of town centre management functions. “In a region as large and diverse as the Central Coast, the definition of a ‘town centre’ is important to establish, to ensure that coordinated resources are focused on areas that provide the best opportunity to achieve place activation, economic development and social connection to our community.” All commercial property owners within the former Gosford Local Government Area pay Special Rate Levies, but only Gosford has been serviced by a third party entity responsible for marketing, promoting, event delivery, business development and varying levels of asset maintenance. The review found that Council provided “limited and varying funding levels” which meant the town centres on the Peninsula struggled to get funding for events. “Little funding is directly targeted towards activities or projects,” the review said. “In the absence of a dedicated focus or town centre management team within Council, little coordination or strategic decision

is taken to ensure capital works projects, maintenance or events and activations meet broader objectives,” it said. Another finding was that aligned delivery of services such as security and cleaning would ensure best value and consistent service levels. The review recommended that Council request the CEO to investigate how to resource a dedicated team within Council to coordinate town centre management. Another recommendation was for Council to work with the NSW Business Chamber to develop a model to specifically support local economic and business development initiatives. Council will also establish an external regional model to provide a regional focus and direction for delivery of economic development, marketing and promotion, business development and attraction of major events for town centres across the Coast. A professional board for the regional model will be considered. The Place Activation section within Council will be expanded to ensure best practice internal coordination of assets, contract management, leasing, delivery of events and services. Central Coast Council Mayor, Clr Jane Smith, said th report back to Council should also “consider how we consult and engage with communities in those town centres”.

The proposed change is directly at odds with the position of local community groups like Save Our Woy Woy. The draft Consolidated Central Coast Local Environmental Plan and Development Control Plan were placed on exhibition last week. According to the draft, the new objective for the R1 General
Residential zone is “to promote best practice in the design of multi-dwelling housing and other similar types of development; to ensure that non-residential uses do not adversely affect residential amenity or place demands on services beyond the level reasonably required for multidwelling housing or other similar types of development”. “Specific minimum lot sizes for multi-dwelling housing, residential flat buildings and attached dwellings are not set under the Central Coast Development Control Plan. “This form of housing can be
managed through other provisions of the DCP chapter applying to these forms of development such as building setback, floor space ratio, open space requirements etc. “The removal of this clause, for these land-uses, will allow greater flexibility to encourage higher density development within the R1 zone. “It will also reduce expectations of unfeasible development where greater lot sizes would be required.” The Council held its first information sessions on the proposed new development and

Council representatives will be available at Deepwater Plaza, Woy Woy, on Thursday, January 17 from 10:30am and 12:30pm to give residents information about the proposed consolidated development controls. Submissions from the public will be accepted until February 28. The consolidated plan has been placed on public exhibition
two years after the new Central Coast Council resolved to prepare a planning proposal to consolidate the provisions of the Local Environmental Plans from the former Gosford and Wyong Councils. The draft plan standardises matters not dealt with under current controls. “The preparation of a Consolidated Central Coast Local Environmental Plan is the first step in the process to preparing a Comprehensive Plan,” according to details on the Council’s yourvoiceourcoast website.

ISSUE 198
Younger generation are going to cop the worst from climate change effects
roups and individuals distributing misinformation about Central Coast Council’s imminent draft Climate Change strategy, are causing unnecessary fear, according to, John Asquith, Chair of the Community Environment Network (CEN).
New planning controls to increase residential density Development controls included in a draft new planning scheme would permit higher density development in residential areas around Woy Woy.
Edition 461
17 December 2018
Woy Woy designated as town centre like Gosford Woy Woy has been designated a “principal town centre” in a review conducted for Central Coast Council which was adopted at the December 10 council meeting.
“For a start, the idea of planned retreat on the Coast is a nonsense,” Asquith said. “If you have a look at the maps, there are only a few areas on the Coast where planned retreat could be an option,” he said. “One of them is Wamberal Beach. “Planned retreat is where you give up the land because you don’t want to build infrastructure, but at Wamberal, a sea wall is the plan, so to build that infrastructure is the opposite of planned retreat. “The problem at Wamberal is that the landholders don’t want to contribute the $500,000 each needed to build the wall, even though it is to protect their private property. “They expect the rest of the ratepayers to cover the cost. “That would mean roughly, the rates of every 200 ratepayers would be going to save one waterfront landholder’s property. “That has been the problem at Wamberal for the past 20 years. “Council has always been howled down when they say private landholders have to save private land, and the Council has to pay to save public land. “As you work your way down the Coast, as far as I know, there is no erosion problem

that threatens houses at Avoca, then there are little bays that are not threatened with erosion, because they have headlands holding everything together. “Ettalong, Umina and Ocean Beach are being eroded, but planned retreat can only occur where there is no public infrastructure between your house and the ocean, or a lack of preparedness to build infrastructure. “However, all along that coastline in those areas, there is a road between the houses and the beach. “There are virtually no houses not separated from the beach where it is eroding, by a road or park or reserve with public infrastructure. “Therefore planned retreat is not an option there either, because there is already public infrastructure, namely a road, with foundations and everything that goes with that. “There is no plan to abandon roads, so if you have a road between you and the threat, it is about the best thing you can have. “If the road stays, you stay, so planned retreat is virtually an option in no parts of the Central
Coast.” Asquith said that he did not believe low-lying areas around Brisbane Water, including Davistown and Saratoga, would be considered for planned retreat either. “Most of those houses front a reserve. “All along Davistown, there is a big public reserve that is all a public facility and it would not be abandoned. “There is nothing in the policy saying that if you get inundated four times a year, you will have to leave your home. “Council does not have the power to make you leave your home. “They don’t have any need to look at planned retreat. “The thing the policy will do will mean that we start to take action to slow down climate change, plant more trees, build sea walls, do whatever we have to do. What the Council should do, in my view, is to be planning for change, as these areas are affected by flood levels, they should be adopting strategies to make the drains bigger, raise the road level, and call that

adaptation. “You adapt and do what you can. “You can’t stop it, so you adapt to it. “Tell me, where are they planning planned retreat, because there is nothing in the policy about it? Asquith said members of the older generations needed to think about the legacy they were leaving their children and grand children, and that plans needed to be put in place now to ameliorate future risks. “Councillors have been criticised for setting flood levels that are too high, but they are not too high. “It is a fact that on the Central Coast, with a South East Low, and a maximum storm surge, the amount the ocean is lifted with the low pressure air, is five metres plus the high tide, plus the flood waters, and flood levels set by Council need to reflect that. “I was in New Orleans earlier this year and had a good look at the storm surge they got from Hurricane Katrina, and they got a nine metre storm surge on top of a high tide.
“Some of the bridges, one huge bridge, were being demolished, one was way up in the air, but it was being demolished because people who had been on that bridge during Katrina were washed off and drowned. “There are exceptional circumstances, so you at least plan for those Proposed Maximum Floods of five metres, which are half of what New Orleans experienced in Katrina. “We were amazed that when we were more than 100 miles from the ocean, we went out on the Bayou and they were showing us boats that were ripped off moorings on the coast and dumped in the bayous, and they gave up trying to repair them and getting them back out to the ocean.” According to John Asquith, those on the Central Coast attempting to undermine the need for Council to plan for sea level rise, “are talking the thing down for their own private benefit. “They are all older men and they won’t be around when the worst of it hits. “It is the younger generation who are going to cop the worst of this, and these people will be long gone and long forgotten. “They are running a scare campaign because Council is going through a very careful process to make sure people’s voices are heard. “Council are going through a number of steps before they have a draft policy, so I would suggest that people who have concerns should identify what it is that concerns them, and ask Council to explain and consider.” Asquith said plans needed to be put in place now, not in 50 or 100 years’ time. “We cannot wait 100 years
to try and turn around the processes that are already in place. “It is happening right now and we are seeing it every day, with stronger cyclones, much more instability in the climate, and it is easy to understand, because there is more heat, and heat is energy. “Two weeks ago, in north Queensland, we had rainforests on fire, and now we have the biggest cyclone we have had in 15 years. “Our thoughts should be focused on the legacy we leave, so if a person of 20 today is going to be seriously impacted over the next 40 years by climate change, it is going to affect their food supply. “In NSW, we already have a shortage of grain. “This is the third year of drought in the wheat belt. “People of retirement age will see the impact on their children and grandchildren. “We inherited a planet that was functional when we were children, and we are leaving a legacy that our children and their children will not be able to turn around in their lifetime. “The job we have got is more than looking after ourselves. “Think of the legacy you are going to leave, whatever age you are. “You can see the effects that climate change are going to have on the rest of your life. “The scientists are saying that if we don’t act in the next 10 years, we are not going to keep temperature rises under two degrees, and they have identified a two degree rise as one that would see systems go out of control.” Source: Interview, Dec 14 John Asquith, Community Environment Network Jackie Pearson, journalist

Mayor criticises non-complying development approvals Central Coast mayor Cr Jane Smith has criticised the number of non-complying development applications being approved by the Council.
She said findings from ICAC reports showed that it was when councils did not enforce their own planning controls that it created problems. Cr Smith said it was extremely disappointing “that our community spends a lot of time and effort in developing and consulting and being a part of the development of local environment plans and development control plans with the expectation that our council will enforce those planning guidelines and controls”. She said Gosford Council had a reputation for not enforcing its planning controls. “So I had hoped that, as a new council, we could provide certainty to our community and certainty to developers by adopting a decisionmaking process that did reflect our community’s expectations from being involved in that planning,” she said. Most recent applications for multiple dwelling developments on the Peninsula have been approved, despite not complying with the council’s development control plan (DCP). “Although the DCP perhaps does not have the strength of a local environment plan and one non-compliance may be considered acceptable to have so many non-compliances I would think sets a poor precedent for future development,” Smith said. Cr Kyle MacGregor said: “The most important issue we are dealing with here is what is the point of having planning controls if people won’t comply with them. “I believe we should be getting people to do their best to comply,”
Cr MacGregor said. “In the event there is massive variations and they are not able to comply I think we should have a very stringent look at that,” he said. The councillors were speaking at the final Council meeting for 2018, successfully arguing for the refusal of not a Peninsula development but a Terrigal development which council planners had recommended be approved. Cr Smith’s grounds for refusal were based on nine noncompliances with the development control plan. The non-compliances she listed were similar to, or the same as, non-compliances with a growing number of residential developments that are being approved by Council on the Peninsula. “To approve this development when there is such noncompliance with the DCP would be to create an expectation for similar concessions,” Cr Smith said. Cr Smith’s reasons for refusal included non-compliance with setbacks, communal space, deep soil zones, and side boundary setbacks, activation of a laneway. Such non-compliances have been regularly accepted, and used as precedents, when included in Peninsula development applications but Cr Smith appears to have drawn a line in the sand when it came to the Terrigal development. Cr Smith said she was interested in reaching out to the Peninsula community to learn more about their concerns regarding the number of developments applications lodged with Council that did not comply with the current Local Environment Plan or Development Control Plan.

Station building may become retail space The upper level at Woy Woy railway station may be used as retail space.
Sydney Trains is offering the station’s former ticket office for lease. The 28sqm ticket office is being advertised through commercial
property agent specialists Real Commercial. The former ticket office site has been listed for a five-year lease as a retail space. No price was available with the listing but key selling points included Woy Woy station’s role as a major transportation hub for the
southern Central Coast and the areas predicted residential growth rate. The listing also stated that the station sees over 115,000 passenger movements monthly.

Measles alert issued for the Peninsula NSW Health has issued a measles alert for the Peninsula after a tourist who visited Woy Woy and Umina over Christmas was diagnosed with the disease.
The tourist from Canberra visited the Peninsula between December 26 and 30 and made several visits to popular community locations including Jasmine Greens Kiosk, Umina Beach Shopping Centre and Deepwater Plaza.
According to NSW Health’s communicable diseases director Dr Vicky Sheppeard, anyone who visited these locations at the same time should be aware of symptoms. “The time from exposure to the disease to the onset of symptoms is typically about 10 days but can be as long as 18 days so people should be alert to symptoms until mid-January,” Dr Sheppeard said. The infection is highly contagious and can spread through coughing or sneezing.
Measles symptoms include fever, sore eyes and a cough followed three or four days later by a red, blotchy rash spreading from the head and neck to the rest of the body. Infants under 12 months, who are too young to be vaccinated, and young adults are most likely to be susceptible to the infection, Dr Sheppeard said.

Peninsula properties deleted from heritage list A community-based heritage study initiated by the former Gosford Council has been finalised, but Central Coast Council has resolved to delete two Peninsula properties from the list.
Councillors resolved to specifically delete 24 Jacaranda Ave, Patonga, and 30 Cornelian Ave, Pearl Beach, from the list of properties to be included as local heritage items identified by the 2016 study. The exclusion of the properties was based on strong objections from both owners. The owner of 24 Jacaranda Ave, Patonga, strongly objected to the potential heritage listing, according to a council staff report. The owner’s objection was based on the property not being in keeping with the character of the area. “The property has extensive white ant damage that will require replacement of significant fabric and architectural features,” the staff report said. “It is recommended that a further assessment of the property be conducted focused on the condition of the building and fabric. “A decision can then be made
as to whether to retain the property on the proposed heritage list and include it as part of the next heritage review,” it said. The owner of the Pearl Beach property also objected to the proposed listing as they had not
been included in the full process of the heritage study. “The owners have not been part of the extensive consultation that has been a significant part of the heritage listing study process,” the staff report said.
“As such, it is recommended that consideration of the proposed heritage listing be postponed until the next heritage review is conducted in order to allow for appropriate consultation with the owners.”
“The next heritage review is expected to commence within 12 months of the finalisation of this planning proposal.” The community based heritage study was undertaken to fulfil the former Council’s statutory obligations to manage the heritage of its local government area and protect heritage through local environmental plans. The two properties were dropped from the list even though the Gosford Council heritage officer and a consultant had engaged with property owners for four months from October 2015 to January 2016. Their draft list was then peerreviewed and approved by the then Council general manager for public exhibition. The initial planning proposal was given “gateway approval” by the NSW Government in September 2017 and again placed on public exhibition resulting in 13 submissions being received, seven of those were new objections to proposed heritage items. Buildings within two Peninsula public schools, Woy Woy and Pretty Beach, have been included as local heritage items. SOURCE: Central Coast Council agenda 3.6, 10 Dec 2018

Chamber reports strong Christmas trade The Peninsula Chamber of Commerce has reported strong trade over the Christmas break.
“Our members are reporting great figures over the Christmas break with high visitor numbers and what appears to be more spendable income across the board”, said Chamber president Mr Matthew Wales.
“There are a lot more people spending holidays locally, taking advantage of our great beaches, retail centres and local attractions, which is translating into more dollars being spent on the Peninsula “This is entirely in line with recent tourism figures which shows strong growth in the local market which is good news for local retailers.”
Mr Wales said recent hot weather and great beach conditions had further added to the retail result. “There is no doubt that the recommencement of the Palm Beach ferry service has helped retailing, especially in the Ettalong Beach village centre,” he said. “The cafe-restaurant sector of the business community has performed particularly well this
Christmas with many restaurants booked out and street cafes at capacity. “While this has been a great Christmas trading period so far, the Chamber is mindful of the challenges ahead in 2019 especially in relation to ongoing maintenance and upgrades of the Peninsula town and village centres. “The Chamber will continue
its lobbying over the coming 12 months for improvements to street-cleaning operations and the review of the Woy Woy town centre planning and management controls.”

INVITATION: WORLD WETLANDS DAY BREAKFAST WITH THE BIRDS
A
big year ahead in 2019 with State and Federal elections. Climate change is looking to be a major issue for all ages and political allegiances. In doing some research on climate and air pollution, I had reason to talk to people on air quality and asthma. Doctors advised me that: “Despite extensive epidemiological research, there is currently no evidence of a threshold below which exposure to particulate matter does not cause any health effects. Any increase in air pollution carries the risk of increased health effects.” In other words any pollution can affect your health. There are many sufferers of asthma (30,000 on the Central Coast) and their voices are not being heard. For example, the Asthma Foundation advised that“ Asthma Australia recognises air pollution poses a significant public health risk, particularly for people with asthma. We strongly believe everyone has the right to clean air.” The NSW Government (Minister for Environment) was working on a NSW Clean Air Agreement. However, nothing has happened in over 12 months. As a sometime sufferer of asthma, it became apparent to me that the CC should have a Strategy for Cleaner Air. Consequently, CEN is establishing an Air Pollution sub-committee to investigate and anyone with advice or experiences to share is asked to send CEN information at cen@ cen.org.au John Asquith, OAM

Nursing home proposal to go before planning panel The Joint Regional Planning Panel will meet in the Gosford Chamber of Central Coast Council on Thursday, January 24, to determine a proposal for a three-storey aged care facility at 45 Hillview St, Woy Woy.
The NSW Government advertised the public meeting on December 20, which may have been overlooked by many in the community. Only 10 submissions were received by Central Coast Council so the proposal has not been referred to a Council meeting for consideration. An assessment report from Council staff has yet to be published on either the Council or JRPP website. Any person may attend the meeting to observe. The proposal to be determined by the regional planning panel is similar to an earlier application to amend an existing development approval, which was refused at the beginning of 2018. The developer is asking for permission to build a $27.85 million, 160-bed aged care facility on the vacant land which is recognised as environmentally sensitive. The Central Coast Branch of the Australian Conservation Foundation objected to any development on the entire site. “We call for the land to be compulsorily acquired by the State

Government with the support of the Central Coast Council,” said branch secretary Mr John Wiggin in March 2018. “The State Government has the responsibility under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act for protecting Umina Coastal Sandplain Woodland (UCSW) endangered ecological communities,” Mr Wiggin said. The foundation’s submission said UCSW covers areas of the Hillview St site that were more significant than shown in the
developer’s application to Council “yet was discussed to be largely across the area of development by Justice Bignold in the Land and Environment Court case Providence Projects vs Gosford Council. “Only around 11 hectares of UCSW remain anywhere in the world,” Mr Wiggin said. “The site of the original development was over 1.16 hectares, more than 10 per cent of this. “This block of remnant vegetation was a gift of land to the
Catholic Church which then sold it off to a developer who wished to make a quick buck, although the community acknowledged and recognised the significance of this vegetation and land and have fought to protect the land and its endangered ecological community. “The community sentiment and the regional media in 2004 and beyond were very much opposed to the destruction of this rare bushland.” “The number one risk factor is habitat loss through developmental
pressures, exactly what is happening with Hillview St. “The information accompanying the application is insufficient to justify the development.” Another submission opposing the development said the whole site should be regarded as Umina Coastal Sandplain Woodland endangered ecological community on the basis of the precautionary principle. “The whole site is rare bushland and should not be developed. “The activity is inappropriate in the neighbourhood. “The design is out of character with the area. “The design is architecturally poor and will have an adverse aesthetic and financial impact on the neighbourhood. “The activity will have a detrimental effect on the local economy and other providers of aged care on the Peninsula. “The design does not allow the provision of a high standard of aged care. “The activity is inconsistent with the retention of bushland on the site.” To register to speak at the meeting, contact the Planning Panels Secretariat before 4pm on Tuesday, January 22 on (02) 8217 2060 or email enquiry@ planningpanels.nsw.gov.au.

Peninsula Tourism Partners claim council neglect Peninsula Tourism Partners president Ms Kim Cole believes the Peninsula is constantly being given the cold shoulder by Central Coast Council.
“There appears to be a continual lack of council interest in establishing regional events on our Peninsula,” she said. “The focus appears to be from the Gosford Waterfront to The Entrance.” Peninsula Tourism Partners, meanwhile, is working with local business owners and community members to create a calendar of local events, such as car shows, art festivals, red carpet days, school holiday fun and a major Christmas event “But this will not be possible without funding from council and Destination NSW,” Ms Cole said. “We have asked council to consider utilising our beautiful Peninsula as an alternative for major events. “We are located five minutes from Woy Woy Station, 25 minutes by ferry from Palm Beach and 90 minutes from Sydney via the M1. “We also have numerous accommodation providers to cater for a large number of guests wishing to attend events. “The Peninsula is the perfect

Central Coast destination to hold events and to encourage both day trippers and holiday makers. “We are surrounded by two national parks, more than 40 cafes and restaurants within a two kilometre radius, stunning waterways, cycleways, playgrounds, boutique stores and the list goes on.” As passionate as Ms Cole is about her area, she believes her enthusiasm has been put in the too-hard basket by Central Coast Council. “I do ask why a small committee of local business owner-operators have taken on the job of promoting our region as holiday and event destinations,” she said. “Increasing visitation numbers to our region will result in an injection of money into local business. “Council is very well aware of the financial struggles local business experienced during the six-month diversion of the Palm Beach Ferry service.” Ms Cole has urged council to “regain the community’s faith that the council has an invested interest in our region” by promoting #visitourpeninsula, The Southern Gateway to the Central Coast. Central Coast Council responded to Ms Cole’s concerns, saying that a Major Events Strategy for the whole of the
Central Coast would be delivered for the Destination Management Plan in 2019. The purpose of this strategy would be to identify any gaps in the current full calendar of events that are staged across the coast and investigate the opportunities, including venue scale, for the coast to attract major events that will generate economic return. The Council statement said it sponsored a number of events on the Peninsula. This included $9500 for a national bowls competition which will be run at Ettalong Memorial Bowling Club in April, Australia Day celebrations on the Woy Woy waterfront and the annual Ettalong Oyster Festival. Community groups and event organisers could apply for funding for events under Council’s Community Event and Place Activation Grant Program and Sponsorship Program, according to the statement. The next application period would be open between January 14 and February 28.

Council staff sum up Woy Woy plan in two paragraphs Gosford West Ward Councillor Richard Mehrtens has received a two-paragraph answer from council staff to a question on notice regarding the future of Woy Woy Town Centre.
Central Coast Council’s overarching review of town centre management announced that Woy Woy would be designated as a “principal town centre” but Council staff gave little detail in their response to Cr Mehrten’s question about Woy Woy’s future. In October, Cr Mehrtens asked: “What is the plan for the future of the Woy Woy Town centre including consideration of rejuvenation and making better use of the open and green spaces in the precinct?”

Staff did not respond until December 10, in time for the last ordinary meeting of 2018. Their answer was: “As part of the development of a future Comprehensive Local Environmental Plan, Council will be undertaking a review of the existing masterplan for the Woy Woy Town Centre Precinct with a view to developing a masterplan and Local Strategic Planning Statement in consultation with the community by 2020. “Future planning for the Woy Woy Town Centre will recognise not only the existing character of the area but plan for future population growth.”

West St development attracts 40 submissions The Peninsula community’s push back against overdevelopment continues with more than 40 submissions lodged against a $7.59 million mixed-use development on the corner of Morris and West St, Umina.
The development application was expected to go before the December 10 meeting of Central Coast Council but did not make it onto the agenda. It may now be referred to the Council meeting to be held at Wyong on Monday, January 29. The applicant’s planning consultant, Mr Matthew Wales, said the proposed building with basement parking, ground level retail and commercial floor space, and 23 residential apartments above was a “landmark” proposal for Umina and the first based on the development controls adopted by the former Gosford Council in 2014. “I will be looking with interest as to who on Council is indicating their support for the project,” Mr Wales said. “The development application complies and has been recommended for approval,” he said. “If it is knocked back, it will say this Council is not interested in developing town centres,” he said. Although Mr Wales contended

that the application complied with all current development controls, the Statement of Environment Effects submitted by Mr Wales in support of the application asked for a variation to the maximum floor space ratio of 1.8:1 in the Gosford LEP “on the basis of the design merit and key location of the proposed development and the imperative to lift the design standard of the eastern entry to the Umina town centre”. The proposed development also encroaches outside the maximum height limit for the location.
A late submission from Mr Chris Oliver, principal consultant with Optima Developments, confirmed that the development did not comply with current planning controls and argued why the developer should be exempt from those controls. It is unusual for a planning consultant to make a submission to Council regarding a development application when the developer is not their client, as is the case with Mr Oliver’s submission. “It is apparent that the applicant has no alternative but to go down

this statutory pathway due to the current outdated and antiquated planning controls applicable to the site and Umina town centre,” Mr Oliver’s submission said. His rationale for the need to deviate from current planning controls dates back to 2005. “Following extensive review as part of the Centres Strategy for the Gosford Local Government Area, a Peninsula Urban Development Strategy (PUDS) was prepared and underwent a public consultation in 2005,” he said. “This document provided the foundation for a centre’s hierarchy for the Peninsula.” According to Mr Oliver’s submission, the strategy identified the commercial centre of Umina as providing the greatest opportunity for “a mixed use expansion and intensification”. Following the adoption of the Gosford LEP in 2014, Council resolved to rezone two parcels of land for additional parking within the Umina town centre. However, the proposed site contained a villa so the additional parking was never developed. He said there was no current plan for alternate car parking or to develop multi-storey car parking on the existing parking land as detailed in the “still currently adopted” Masterplan for Umina. “Surely this document must now be considered redundant
and in need or urgent review,” the submission said. The 2014 Gosford LEP also included an expansion of the Umina CBD and zone changes from residential to business core, according to the submission. It also provided development incentives for urban renewal in Ettalong even though Umina was seen as the most viable location for renewal. “One must now appreciate that it is appropriate that the foundations for the PUDS must now be in need or review,” Mr Oliver said. He said Umina had now been accepted as the “true town centre of the Peninsula” where operators wanted to be. He said he believed the Peninsula had been left behind by the Council amalgamation and drawn-out process of replacing the Gosford LEP with, initially a consolidated LEP (currently on exhibition) and then a brand new Comprehensive LEP, not likely to even be commenced until 2020. “The Peninsula becomes the forgotten poor cousin of the Coast, with further outdated controls for a further few years and any review is unlikely to be finalised until after 2020,” he said.

CWA branch joins tourism campaign
Short-term rental strategy deferred
The Woy Woy branch of the Country Women’s Association has become part of the Central Coast Council’s tourism campaign, This is the Central Coast, to promote the Peninsula.
“When we were approached by Central Coast Council a few months ago to tell our story, how could we say no?” asked branch president, Ms Jane Bowtell. “We love a chat and were very happy to have an opportunity to share our stories, both from the past and present,” Ms Bowtell said. She and other members of the branch have shared the branch’s rich history in their own feature. The branch was founded in 1932 by the matron of the Staples family and served the community for years as a baby health centre upon the founding of the Woy Woy Country Women’s Association Hall. When Ms Bowtell rang the branch and asked to sit in on a meeting, she had recently returned from a stint in the Middle East where her husband had been working. She found herself at a stage of life where she wanted to be involved in her community, to make a difference. Ms Bowtell found an organisation that had previously made such a contribution to locals’ lives but was currently struggling to remain active and to maintain relevance. After 80 years, she found the branch was a shadow of its former glory, with only a handful of members remaining and their role in the community markedly decreased. She could see so much potential but the aims of Mrs Staples and those original women were definitely waning. “I felt so much respect for the history of the Woy Woy branch, the work they had done in the community and the vision of its
members. “I really felt that it was such a shame to see it fading away when there was still so much potential,” Ms Bowtell said. Two and a half years later Ms Bowtell is the branch’s president. “We currently have around 35 active members and I’m so proud to be with them. “We don’t all knit or bake. We are apolitical and non-religious. “We have a range of ages and abilities within our group and we pride ourselves on being inclusive not exclusive,” Ms Bowtell said. “Basically, if you want to be involved we’d love to have you. “It’s great to see interest in the branch increasing and there is so much scope for what we can achieve.” The contribution to the Peninsula community made by the Woy Woy branch continues to grow. The branch supports Coast Shelter, Mary Mac’s Place, Australian Seabird Rescue, local schools, hospitals and other notfor-profits. The branch donates both money raised and handmade items to be sold, raffled or used. Including those famous scones. One of their most popular has been crocheted sleeping mats, made from used plastic shopping bags and donated to Coast Shelter
for distribution to those sleeping rough on the Coast. More recently the branch has been looking for ways to utilise their hall and its grounds. They recently hosted BreastScreen within their grounds which saw a huge increase in both visibility and response. The Measure Up van was next, offering bone density tests, free to those over 70. “Hosting these organisations not only makes vital health services available to locals in a convenient spot, it also raises funds that the branch can then use to support our community. “Plus, if you are lucky, there might be a lovely cup of tea and slice of homemade cake available after your test,” Ms Bowtell said. “The secret of the CWA’s success has always been the theory of many doing a little. “Individuals can have a huge impact when they work together. “The CWA is also about forming friendships and it is the perfect conduit to bring different generations of women together to contribute to their community,” Ms Bowtell said.

A short-term rental accommodation strategy, setting out a policy for bed and breakfast accommodation, will not be finalised by Central Coast Council until the NSW Government finalises a State Environmental Planning Policy.
According to a council staff report, the Department of Planning and Environment had released an Explanation of Intended Effort for the draft State planning policy to enable short-term rental accommodation within dwellings as standardised state-wide provisions, expected to be in place in 2019. “The DP&E is currently publicly exhibiting proposed amendments,” the staff report said. It recommended that the council await the release of the department’s policy before finalising its own strategy. “Short-term rental accommodation is the renting of the whole or part of a private dwelling by an owner to a visitor on a commercial basis, whether the owner is present or not.” In September 2017, the council resolved to prepare a strategy for the future management of short-term accommodation before July 2018. However, the report was not received from staff until December. Short-term rental accommodation is regulated
in NSW by the Environmental Planning & Assessment Act 1979. The Gosford Local Environment Plan 2014 outlined a number of different provisions for the operation of such accommodation as exempt development. “Exempt development is considered very low impact development and may be carried in dwellings of up to four bedrooms without the need to obtain development consent under the Act,” the staff report said. During 2018, Council received 19 complaints regarding 15 shortterm rental premises but their exact locations were not disclosed in the staff report. It considered four development applications and approved three. “It can be seen from these statistics that a small number of premises generated several ongoing complaints. “However, in the main the relevant issues were able to be resolved by Council and have led to better management of the sites. All complaints received by Council to date have been resolved either by ensuring the exemption provisions are being adhered to and the amenity of the locality restored, by the lodgement and consideration of a development application for the use, or by the cessation of short term accommodation in the premises which often being returned to use for long term rental purposes.” SOURCE: Central Coast Council agenda 5.9, 10 Dec 2018

Peninsula won’t reach potential without plan - Mehrtens Gosford West Ward councillor Richard Mehrtens believes the Peninsula will not reach its full potential until Woy Woy has a masterplan.
“When I talk to people from the Peninsula, and as someone who works in Woy Woy, it didn’t surprise me to see that Council didn’t have a master plan for Woy Woy, and that there won’t be one until at least 2020,” he said. “Right now, Woy Woy doesn’t feel like a place with a plan or overarching vision.” This is despite Woy Woy last month being designated a principal town centre, in the same category as Gosford, The Entrance, and Terrigal. “Gosford and The Entrance have had dedicated Business Improvement Districts to oversee events and place activation … Woy Woy needs that same attention. “With this designation should come the same level of attention and investment that those town centres see, and a determined vision of what Woy Woy should be in the next decade and beyond.” Cr Mehrtens said there was a renewed push for better support and recognition for Woy Woy. “There is a residential and business population crying out for more attention and more services to make the most of Woy Woy and ensure it can properly cope with being a principal town centre,” he said.
Cr Richard Mehrtens believes a Woy Woy Masterplan will unlock the Peninsula’s potential
“There are great things happening in Woy Woy, with new food and beverage options that are bringing visitors to the Coast and giving locals new places to try. “Having met with these operators, they are seeking opportunities to show off what they have on offer, and since the Oyster Festival left its original home in Woy Woy some years ago and moved to Ettalong, there hasn’t been a local food-focused event in Woy Woy to replace it.” Cr Mehrtens said that Woy Woy’s assets were not being used to their full potential. “We’ve got a brand new oval
and grandstand that is underutilised,” he said. “A kiosk that was built as part of the oval redevelopment has sat idle for three years as it requires too much investment even to bring it up to a level to use it as a small cafe. “The only piece of green space in the town centre sits next to the oval redevelopment but is completely unused because of a lack of shading and public amenity to make it a nice place to be. “Despite this being prime public space, we have just had Christmas and New Year pass without any community events on
the Peninsula – despite a local population of more than 35,000, good transport and parking, and great public spaces to use. “The Peninsula just doesn’t have the events that it should do for the population. “A festival like the Council-run Love Lanes Festival in Wyong would be perfect for Woy Woy. “With transport and parking close by, and with established food vendors in the area, these are the opportunities that Council should be looking at bringing to Woy Woy.” Without a plan for the town centre, Cr Mehrtens said sprawl into residential suburbs would
continue. “With so much development happening uncontrolled and unplanned across the Peninsula, without a ‘master plan’ for Woy Woy, it means that we are losing the opportunity to better direct the development away from the residential suburbs and keep it close to the town centre,” he said. “More needs to be done to protect the character of our lowdensity suburbs, and ensure that our roads and infrastructure can keep up with the demand. “Our roads and drainage on the Peninsula are already struggling under the current population, and we have seen two major watermain bursts in the last 12 months in Woy Woy. “I worry about the strain that Council infrastructure will be under as populations continue to grow. “More and more people are moving from Sydney, and we need to make sure that locals don’t become a victim of all that makes the Peninsula a great place to live.” Despite these concerns, Cr Mehrtens said that the future of Woy Woy was bright. “Woy Woy has everything going for it - good transport, a great environment, a growing food and drink scene - all that make it the envy of the rest of the Coast.” SOURCE: Media release, 10 Jan 2019 Richard Mehrtens, Central Coast Council

Council reject ‘mystery shopper’ for service assessment
Mystery shopping will not be used by Central Coast Council as a way to assess the quality of its service delivery.
The Council resolved at its December meeting not to use mystery shopping as a way to assess customer satisfaction with services such as Peninsula Leisure Centre, libraries, childcare centres or waste collection services. In October, the Council asked for a report on areas to be assessed and the likely costs of market sampling and for a recommendation about whether to proceed with mystery shopping to assess the quality of Council’s service delivery. The report recommended against using mystery shopping and Councillors adopted that
recommendation. “Mystery shopping is a market research technique for measuring, and monitoring the interactions between a customer and an organisation during a pre-defined scenario,” the council staff report said. “Mystery shopping relies on observation and recall, and could be carried out on both a large and small scale across any area of Council,” the report said. “Often, the process involves a researcher (the mystery shopper) going incognito and reviewing the activities of staff, the venue environment, staff friendliness and knowledge. “In some instances, the mystery shopper may also consider things such as the number of people in a queue, the number of counters open at a certain time, what items
are on display etc. “This means that mystery shoppers are not always ‘shopping’ but also experiencing a service or attending an event. “This type of service can be procured through market research companies, mystery shopping providers, private investigators, training companies and advertising agencies. ”Council does not conduct any mystery shopping programs at present. A Customer Experience Survey was completed last June. “The results from the survey provide a very good insight into what our customers feel is important and their satisfaction ratings on a range of services and experiences. “The data is used to develop service plans and action plans
to improve the overall customer experience. “The survey is the basis for the development of a Customer Experience Strategy which is currently underway and will include a Voice of the Customer (VoC) and Customer Journey Mapping programs. “Both of these programs will be used to tell the story of a customer’s journey from initial contact, through to engagement and longer-term relationship, understand the challenges or differences across all of our customer touchpoints and identify improvements and process. “The strategy will include a vision, a customer charter outlining our service standards, data analytics, as well as an integrated approach to both employee and customer experience.
Council forms social issues committee A Social Issues Committee will be established by Central Coast Council by February but the Peninsula is unlikely to see any immediate benefit.
It will consist of interested councillors and community members to work with the three tiers of government, local service agencies and sector experts to inquire into social issues in the Central Coast Council area, coordinate and formulate a collective response and to provide advocacy and solutions for the various social issues affecting our community on the Central Coast. Cr Kyle MacGregor moved the motion to establish the committee at the December 10 Council meeting. The committee will consider conducting an inquiry into social issues in the Wyong Ward as a pilot programme for the committee
at its initial meeting. The scope of this committee and issues to be investigated will be initially limited to the Wyong Ward for a period of the initial 12 months, with a view to reviewing the efficacy of the committee and potential success of any of the committee’s endeavours. “The purpose of the committee will be to identify, examine and formulate a collective response to the many social issues that affect our community,” Cr MacGregor said in his notice of motion. “The initial inquiries into the Wyong Ward are to ensure that the committee is focused on achievable and realistic outcomes rather than taking a top-down overarching approach and missing details or potential localised practicable action that is more likely to occur if the committee is focused to one ward initially,” he said.
“As councillors, community and staff would be aware, there are a plethora of social issues that affect us on the Central Coast and … Council should provide leadership, advocacy and action to ensure that we are educating, protecting and supporting our community at the most localised level of government. “Central Coast Council in itself cannot solely provide the answers and solutions to these problems. “It is well within our ambit and, I believe, our duty to respond to these crises that face our community. “We are best placed to work together with community and various bodies that are responsible for responses to social issues to seriously attempt to address issues that are far too often unfortunately swept under a rug.”
SOURCE: Central Coast Council agenda 6.3, 10 Dec 2018
“This approach is well underway with linkages between the My Voice Survey and Customer Experience Survey and will provide actionable plans from each Business Unit to improve the customer experience, whilst engagement with the Leadership Team will ensure buy in for the strategy.” The staff report recommended that “Council continued to work towards an improved customer experience through development of the Customer Experience Strategy which includes continuing programs of surveys and complaints and feedback analysis and progresses the implementation of programs such as Voice of Customer and Customer Journey Mapping.”

Mayor calls for residents’ views on planning controls Central Coast Council mayor Cr Jane Smith has urged Peninsula residents to participate in the community consultation for the Consolidated Local Environmental Plan currently on exhibition.
Cr Smith said the Consolidated LEP was an amalgamation of the former planning controls of the Wyong and Gosford LEPs and was an interim planning control that would cover the entire Central Coast Local Government Area until a new Comprehensive LEP was developed. The next opportunity for locals to speak with Council staff about
the consolidated LEP will be from 10:30am to 12:30pm on February 5 at Deepwater Plaza shopping centre, Woy Woy. Information sessions will also be held at Erina Fair on February 6 from 6pm to 8pm or at the 2 Hely St, Wyong on February 13 from 5:30pm to 7:30pm with deferred matters up for discussion from 7:30pm to 8:30pm. A library of documents is available at the yourvoiceourcoast website for residents to peruse before making their submissions. The closing date for submissions in February 28.

Chamber outlines agenda for 2019 The Peninsula Chamber of Commerce has outlined its agenda for 2019, with roads and planning high on its lobbying list for the coming year.
“The Chamber will be continuing its strong lobbying centred around strengthening planning controls and improvements to our town centres”, said Chamber president Mr Matthew Wales. “Our focus will be on ensuring that business interests are protected during the upcoming debate over the new Consolidated Local Environmental Plan, which merges the old Gosford and Wyong planning controls. “It is important that the new planning controls ensure the continued vitality of our three local town centres and also ensure that development controls continue to provide good housing outcomes that produce good quality and affordable residential accommodation in both our retail centres and medium density areas.” The Chamber also wants to see a “sensible debate” over climate change and sea level rise which have the potential to adversely affect the Woy Woy commercial centre and weaken investment in these areas. “We need to ensure that rather than subscribe to the ‘retreat’ philosophy, we ensure that resilience measures are built into our climate change policies so that properties are protected and values are not impacted”, Mr Wales said. “It is also important the Local Planning Panels are introduced so that major developments can be assessed through independent processes and at arm’s-length from political interference. “Local Planning Panels have

“As with so many things in life, we are in a race to the bottom for price of developments but that sometimes means a race to the bottom in quality,” he said. He said the Opal Tower building failure at Olympic Park highlighted the use of private certifiers. “Private certifiers sell themselves as quick and streamlined compared to waiting on an assessment from council staff, but this is where the concerns begin. “There is little accountability of private certifiers and this makes people nervous about where they turn if something goes wrong with a building.” He said the Peninsula was not immune from complaints about private certifiers. He said it was a regular concern raised with him.

With the level of development occurring on the Peninsula, he said locals had a right to question what was happening next door. “Communities need to be assured that the buildings in their neighbourhood reflect best practice, are safe and actually meet the designs that were exhibited and approved by council staff during the development approval process,” Cr Mehrtens said “I hear regularly from residents about developments they feel are being ticked off by certifiers that don’t meet the landscaping plans, or don’t match the building design or scale advertised. “Unfortunately, it will likely fall onto to councils to clean up the damage if a private certifier ticks off something that doesn’t meet standards.” Cr Mehrtens said the community deserved better. “I think greater thought and consideration needs to be given by developers to the quality of life of the residents of new developments and neighbouring properties.”

Lantern parade returns for Australia Day Australia Day activities will take place from 2pm to 9pm along the Woy Woy waterfront on January 26.
The Lantern Festival will return this year with a community procession of lanterns through the streets of Woy Woy, culminating in three lanterns floating across the water’s edge. Council is currently holding a series of workshops across the Central Coast to create the three lanterns. A whale lantern will be made at workshops taking place at the
Peninsula Community Centre throughout January. The festivities will conclude with a traditional fireworks display over the water. The day will include a variety of children’s activities, food and market stalls, community displays and a large line-up of live music and entertainment headlined by the band The Nevilles. Central Coast Council will provide an accessibility tent as a specialist service, designed to ensure all members of the community can enjoy community
events. Road closures will be in effect in Woy Woy from 6am on Australia Day: The Boulevarde, Brick Wharf Rd in the west from Oval Ave and in the east from Tennis Court Lane will be closed from 6am and reopen at 10pm. Residents will have limited access from 6am to 1pm with a full closure in effect at the end of Brick Wharf Rd from Oval Ave to the link road through to the tennis courts and carpark.

A privilege to keep the Peninsula community informed I’ve spent almost four years as journalist on the Peninsula News and they have been some of the happiest of my working life but, alas, it is time to move on.
Peninsula News journalist Jackie Pearson is leaving the paper after four years to take up a position with a local politician.
to keep the community of the Peninsula informed about issues such as the sacking of Gosford Council and its replacement with the mega Central Coast Council, and, of course, the perennials such as flooding, poor local roads, water quality, beach erosion and the state of the channel. The Peninsula has the population of a major regional centre and is one of the largest residential areas on the Central Coast but, on a per capital basis, thanks to the Council amalgamation, it is now grossly under-represented at a local government level. Its hospital does not have an accident and emergency department.Its one police station is inadequately resourced. During my time with the paper, it has lost its motor registry and local
court sitting days. The community is increasingly worried that the Peninsula’s identity could be the next thing to disappear. The good news is you have a great local newspaper to keep you fully informed about everything you need to know. I am going to work as a strategy and communications officer for Ms Emma McBride, the Federal Member for Dobell, which I am sure will be a challenging and enlightening experience I am looking forward to. I will continue to read Peninsula News with interest and perhaps even write the odd letter to the editor. It has been a privilege to serve its community.
She will be replaced by veteran journalist Bernie Leo. Unlike Jackie, Bernie will work exclusively for Peninsula News as senior journalist. Bernie Leo has been a journalist all of his working life, spanning 48 years. He started out at The Border Mail in Albury covering a number of beats and was recruited at an early age to work for The China Mail, a daily newspaper in Hong Kong. On returning to Australia, he reported again for The Border Mail before joining News Corp at The Adelaide News. He transferred to Perth where he was deputy sports editor on The Sunday Times before his final News Corp transfer to The Daily Telegraph in Sydney. He spent seven years at The Daily Telegraph before joining The Australian Financial Review for the next 10 years.
While at the Financial Review, he held a number of senior positions, including chief subeditor, production editor and associate editor. Bernie took a year off after leaving the Financial Review before joining The Bulletin. After seven years there, Bernie was contemplating a job change when he was approached by the Shanghai Daily with an offer that was too good to refuse. He spent the next five years in China, editing and heavily rewriting the front three pages of the Shanghai Daily, a position where diplomacy was essential. Bernie was head-hunted in 2010 and joined The Phnom Penh Post as editor-in-chief. He spent a year there but said he found the politics of Cambodia unbearable and fled back to Sydney to rejoin the Financial Review. He decided in 2015 to work from home as a freelancer, which he has been doing until now.

I moved to Point Clare in 2001 and found an early edition of the Peninsula News a year or two later at the brand-new Peninsula Leisure Centre. I devoured the comprehensive local news coverage while watching my baby girls learn to swim. I have had the privilege of working as a journalist since 1989 but I started as an intern with my local newspaper when I was in Year 10 at high school (1982) so I’ve always had a soft spot for genuine community news. The Peninsula News impressed me on many levels as a reader. It was community-owned. At a time when newspaper publishers around the world were saying their mastheads were no longer financially viable, the Peninsula News had launched with a community ownership model via a not-for-profit association. As a former deputy editor of Choice Magazine, also owned by its members, I did then, and still do, believe community ownership is a fantastic model for community newspapers. It ensures the content of the paper serves the interests of its most important stakeholders, the readers. Attribution of sources was another feature of the Peninsula News that I’m was a big fan of. As a young Choice journalist, I had learned the discipline of verification, every source had to be listed at the end of each article to be checked off by a professional verifier. The “Source” lines at the end of each article in Peninsula News is a very similar process: every source used in the article is listed so the reader can judge the veracity of the information and draw their own conclusions. So much of modern tabloid journalism no longer resembles, in any way, my personal and professional definition of truth in the public interest but Peninsula News continues to fulfil the role of reporting the facts its community needs to know. It has been an absolute privilege

Zoning changes usually come after a plan not before it It is difficult to know whether the designation of Woy Woy as a “principal town centre” (Peninsula News edition 460) is a good thing or a bad thing.
Given the botch that the Council has made of the Gosford Town Centre, one might be a little apprehensive about the effect of this new equal focus on Woy Woy. Of course, since there is to be no plan of Woy Woy until 2020 (Peninsula News edition 460), one assumes that there is likely to be no immediate effect, although the lack of a plan has not hindered the recent proposal of new zoning regulations to increase densities in Woy Woy, something that usually comes after a plan rather than
Forum
before it. We are told that this new designation will allow the Council to “focus on holistic place management and activation, effectively addressing the interdependencies between effective asset management, marketing and promotion, tourism, business development, economic development and delivery of quality events”. Up to now, we’re told, only Gosford has had this kind of attention, and we can all see the benefits that have accrued there from this kind of sterling effort, so we can look forward to the results
in Woy Woy. Or maybe not. Of course, to achieve this grandiloquent “vision splendid”, “an expansion of ... staffing would be needed”, and “a professional board ... will be considered”. Since businesses already pay a levy, the assumption here must be that ratepayers in general will bear the extra costs of this ambitious new undertaking, although the tangible benefits to them are far from clear. Wyong, The Entrance and Terrigal, equally threatened by this initiative, should be shaking in their shoes.

It will have conflicting documents on exhibition and this will test the Council’s commitment to take action on climate change.

review of planning controls should be deferred until July or August. In the meantime, the Council will indicate if it supports climate action simply by the impact of development applications approved and public objection. It has been observed that the information in Council meeting reports supports DA approval that does not take action to address climate change. Make no mistake, the climate change policy if adopted will require an immediate corporate restructure of the Council. Letter, 18 Dec 2018 Norman Harris, Umina
Read draft climate change policy I’m writing in support of the need for a climate change policy for the Central Coast.
It is right and proper for the Central Coast Council to release its Draft Climate Change Policy for community input over the next few months. The Draft Climate Change Policy puts forward a measured approach to seeking the best ways to adapt to the reality of climate change. I encourage all Central Coast residents to read the document, available on Council’s website (yourvoiceourcoast.com/ climatechange), and attend to public meetings that will be held in February in each of the five wards.
Forum
The existence of a climate change policy, or otherwise, will not prevent climate change from effecting us. However, it outlines broad actions on climate change and will enable Council to align its operations and strategic planning with the NSW State Climate Change Policy Framework. No decisions have been made as yet so there is plenty of time for Central Coast residents to get the facts and make their submissions to Council. Email, 9 Jan 2019 Gregory Olsen, Empire Bay
Where are the wharf and mooring levies going? The Council is quite right regarding the finance for the dredging of all channels in our waterways as being the responsibility of the State.
I wonder if the government can tell the people where is the money from all the levies from wharves, moorings and other revenue going? Sydney I suppose. The other thing is: If the Federal Government gives finance to Councils throughout Australia, why do the states get it first and take 10 per cent out just to rewrite the cheque? Where does this money go?

I suppose to a bureaucrat to carry out some stupid task for that purpose. If a number of our sincere citizens are asking the same question, that will contribute to voting at the next election.

Ask residents first about apartment blocks Heaven help us if Central Coast Council wants to make Woy Woy like Gosford (Peninsula News edition 460).
Where on earth does Council plan to put more residents? Gosford is a dying town because of all the idiotic ideas that councillors have allowed to develop. Woy Woy has its own problems but at least we don’t have multiple empty shops yet. Planning by Council should be totally resisted before we see a Spotlight store at Empire Bay, a McDonalds on St Huberts Island and a Kathmandu store at Koolewong. If they think that multi-storey residential apartment blocks would be acceptable, they had better ask the Peninsula residents first.
Forum
They want more units and townhouses so they can fleece us as much as they can for more rates, yet give us back so little. No new developments should be approved in suburban streets on the Peninsula until the entire road has a footpath and kerbing. Thousands of residents are sick of living in streets that have not been properly made for more than 30 years. The Peninsula is possibly the most densely populated and favourite location on the Central Coast and it has been very poorly treated by successive Councils. The residents deserve better than anything this current Council proposes.

Council should take a stand against whale slaughter The announcement by the Japanese Government to resume commercial whaling made on December 26, is in my opinion, just wrong.
We all know that the whaling they have been doing for the past decades under the guise of research was just a front so they could still harvest whales for food. The new Central Coast Council needs to take a stand against this offensive slaughter and end its sister city relationship with Edogawa City Council in protest to this needless slaughter. It can also be a protest against the annual dolphin slaughter in Taiji, where the hunters herd dolphins into a bay, net it off so they can’t escape then brutally kill

Forum
Why single out dual occupancies in new standards? It is encouraging to see that Council has at last seen the absurdity of setting minimum lot sizes for residential development (Peninsula News edition 460) and will rely on setback, density, height and amenity requirements to ensure that developments meet appropriate standards.
It is, therefore, puzzling in the extreme that, despite this completely sensible change, Council has fixed detailed, draconian lot-size requirements solely for dual-occupancy projects in its draft document. What possible explanation can there be for singling out this particular kind of development for such restrictions, when the plan specifically points out that lot-size restrictions are not needed for any other kind of residential building?
Forum LETTERS TO THE EDITOR should be sent to:
Peninsul a News PO Box 1056, Gosford 2250 or editorial@centralcoastnews.net
See Page 2 for contribution conditions
Not satisfied with setting a standard minimum size, the plan even goes into minute detail, such as the size of battle-axe lots with particular slopes, without any explanation of why the general standards that will work for a multiunit building are inadequate for a dual-occupancy dwelling.
If a dual-occupancy dwelling can meet all the requirements for residential amenity, what does the size of the lot matter? It can even be pointed out that a battle-axe lot that fronts onto an open space or that has special views might well have more amenity than a regular residential lot that is hemmed in by nothing but backyards, yet the plan makes no distinction for the character of a property. These restrictions have not been carried over from previous standards but are new-minted, so it would seem that a justification for their introduction is called for. Given that the number of dual occupancies on battle-axe lots must be pretty close to negligible, the special attention to this class of building is inexplicable.

Tidy up the Peninsula Take a drive around the suburban streets of the Peninsula.
Over the years, developers have come in and demolished many of the old homes and constructed villas, townhouses and blocks of flats. Council required these builders to provide kerbing and a footpath outside these developments. So we now have streets with a bit of kerbing and footpath, then weeds grass or gravel for most of
Forum the remainder of the street. When it rains, this ad hoc kerbing fills up with water and spills out onto the bitumen roadway, because there is no drainage. Rules should be made that no new developments should occur unless Council and developers work together to provide full kerbing and a footpath for the entire street. Considering that kerbing
and footpaths are a Council responsibility and that residents’ rates contribute there should be no argument. Council also do not fulfil their responsibility in maintaining the maintenance of street verges and leave it to residents to keep such areas tidy. The suburban streets have been neglected for far too long and ratepayers deserve better. Let’s tidy up the Peninsula. Email, 26 Dec 2018 R Fountain, Booker Bay
Reorientation follows resident traffic observations In regards to Development Application 54551/2018, traffic saturation levels on the Peninsula have been identified but it has not stopped development.
DA54551 has turned residential development 90 degrees from ingress/egress access from Blackwall Rd to Farnell Rd. Reasons for this change are obvious for all those familiar with traffic flow on Blackwall Rd. A consultant’s report is not required to advise the obvious. Reorientation indicates traffic is at saturation level, with more development to be rolled out across the Peninsula. Residents can expect more abnormal land use planning decisions in the future. Empiric knowledge should not be undervalued.
Forum
Compare the hours residents have contributed to traffic movement observation to the information compiled during the traffic consultants study. This could be the reason why there is a reorientation of this proposed development. Are there other abnormalities yet to be revealed? Residents will have increased confidence to challenge information supplied with development applications. Their knowledge is a valuable resource. This DA54551 has established a precedent for the public which should be noted by all Peninsula residents. Letter, 9 Jan 2019 Norman Harris, Umina

Big year at local hospital Last year was a big year for a local hospital, according to its chief executive.
Ms Kathy Beverley said that a building program was completed at Brisbane Waters Private Hospital in Woy Woy. “The next stage of the hospital development was completed which comprised of a new commercial kitchen, a purposebuilt rehabilitation ward consisting of 24 beds all with private ensuites, new gym, hydrotherapy pool,
hospital reception and cafe, drop off zone and additional off street parking for visitors and doctors,” she said. “The hospital now has a total of 109 beds. “With the creation of the new ward, we employed a rehabilitation coordinator and increased our comprehensive allied health team. “Along with doctor recruitment, our surgical services have also expanded with the commencement of additional gastroenterologists, further orthopaedic surgeons,

Other 2018 highlights for the hospital included the introduction of the Caring for Kids program. The program was the brainchild of the hospital’s ear, nose and throat surgeon, Dr Shashi Singh. The program focuses on ensuring child patients, who often are undertaking their first stay in hospital, have a positive experience. According to Ms Beverley, hospital staff have gone to great lengths to ensure the program’s successful integration. “We want to ensure the memory is pleasant and as anxiety-free as possible for the child and their family,” Ms Beverley said. “All team members from reception, nursing, theatre and catering participate by dressing up to ensure the magic is not lost along the way and to reassure the

patients can show family and friends what it was like to be a patient in hospital. “At the time of discharge, parents thank the team for making what can be a frightening time into something so welcoming and friendly. “From the time the family arrives, every team member the parents meet have been just wonderful, creating such a positive experience for all the family,” Ms Beverley said. Other 2018 achievements included the successful launch of the hospital’s new mental health service for young adults, being accredited by the Australian Council of Healthcare Standards (codes 1,2 and 3) and receiving a Master Builders Association acknowledgement for their 2018 extensions and renovations throughout the year.

Mr Oates was diagnosed with the genetic cancer Von HippelLindau syndrome 20 years ago and has since fought the condition which sees tumours in multiple organs, commonly including the brain, spinal cord and eyes. “After five brain surgeries and two spine surgeries, I’m still walking this earth. “While I am still walking, challenges continue to attract me, so I thought what the heck: Why not hit a golf ball 500 plus times and raise money for cancer research at the same time.” Mr Oates raised $782 of his $1500 goal.

Brent Walker decides to move on Brisbane Water Secondary College Umina campus principal Mr Brent Walker has decided to move on, becoming principal of Kincumber High.
He made the announcement on December 19. “It is with very mixed emotions that I need to inform you that I have been offered and accepted the principal position at Kincumber High School in 2019,” Mr Walker said. “This has been an incredibly difficult decision, and one that I have certainly not made lightly. “Since moving to North
Entrance, I have found the many late nights and increased travel time difficult. “I feel it is the right time to take on other challenges and allow others to continue to grow and develop our amazing school. “It has been an honour and privilege to lead the Umina campus for the last six years. “As a team here, we have achieved wonderful things and I will forever appreciate the support and partnership I have received from the entire community.”

said principal, Mr Brent Walker. “Students have worked on this beautiful artwork with Maurice for well over a year. “How good does it look?”

Class placements may change at Woy Woy Class placements at Woy Woy Public School may change at the start of the school year, principal Ms Ona Buckley has told parents and carers.
End-of-year excursion Woy Woy South Public School Kindergarten students celebrated the end of the 2018 school year with an excursion. They had a Christmas party at
the Ocean Beach Holiday Resort on December 18. “What a wonderful Christmas party Kindergarten had,” said principal, Mr Matt Barr. The teachers commended
the Kinder students for their outstanding display of respect and responsibility, he said.

“A temporary school structure has been formed for the start of the school year. “Numbers are very unstable at present with families leaving and arriving and some families not sure what they will be doing or where they will be located in 2019,” Ms Buckley said.
“It seems that this game has become highly popular amongst our students and indeed the wider population,” Ms Buckley said. “Recent media has highlighted it as addictive and there has already been reported violence around it as well. “The game allows an online communication to happen between players. “Players are free to use any language or attitude they wish and some parents have reported it is very difficult to get children away

Principal warns of impact of online game Woy Woy Public School principal Ms Ona Buckley has urged parents and carers to assess the impact of the video game Fortnite on their children’s relationships.

“Please be aware that where your child is placed in a class and with what teacher may change at the beginning of the new school year on our temporary structure. “Teachers cannot, at this time, give a true indication of where any children will be in 2019. “Therefore, please be aware that your child’s initial class placement may change at the beginning of the new school year,” Ms Buckley said.
from the game to do anything else. “This is in an outside environment and certainly parental judgement is required. “However, some of the game gang tactics and language are making their way back into the school grounds as some of the students who are involved in this gaming world cannot let go and be in the reality of the school and school rules. “The summer break is a good opportunity for parents and carers to assess just what your child is involved in online and support your child with making better choices,” Ms Buckley said.

Central Coast Conscious Community Group is hosting a community music, meditation and unity gathering at Umina Beach from 6pm on January 19.
The gathering coincides with drumming usually held on the full moon at Umina Beach. The group encouraged those attending to bring along an instrument to accompany the drumming. The evening will start with a brief meditation and then “free flow into a music jam and drumming night”. Organiser Mr Joe Figilano said he expected the group would “enjoy the beach, the fire, the sunset, the full moon and share some food and stories”.

Gary Puckett and the Union Gap had 6 consecutive gold records and sold more records in 1968 than any other recording act… including The Beatles.
They continue to tour the world in a show that is loaded with hits including “Young Girl” “Woman Woman” “Lady Willpower” and “Over You.” Gary Puckett and the Union Gap maintain a busy touring schedule, constantly touring the United States and Europe in a show that is packed with Rock ‘n’ Roll energy and vocal excellence.
Gary’s velvet voice is complimented perfectly with the vocal harmony and musical perfection of the Union Gap in a show that delivers the raw sixties sound that can only be associated with live music at its best. Supporting Gary will be Australia’s own king of comedy Gary Who; he achieved household recognition in the iconic Australian TV show “Hey Hey It’s Saturday.”

The CCBDMA have revived their Dancing by the Water event in Lions Park Woy Woy
Association revives Dancing by the Water The Central Coast Bush Dance and Music Association revived its Dancing by the Water evenings in Woy Woy on January 4.
Ten members of the association took to the water’s edge at Lions Park, Woy Woy, in a display of bush dance. “It has been a number of years now since the association ran its Dancing by the Water at Lions Park, but now we’re back,” said association secretary Ms Robyn Northwood.
In past years, dancers would enjoy a social chat, a glass of something nice and a picnic, before taking up the dance, she said. “Many of our participating dancers were new to bush dancing so we chose a typical bush dance to perform and in no time at all they were all making the right moves, following the calls and ‘stripping the willow’ in perfect time with the music,” Ms Northwood said. The association decided to revive Dancing by the Water this year and will continue to run the

event at Lions Park on Saturday evenings throughout January, weather permitting. Ms Northwood said the association was keen to welcome any new members or dancing enthusiast regardless of age or experience and will be holding several workshops at various locations across the southern Central Coast over the coming months.

Sport
Woy Woy swim club competes Woy Woy Swim Club has competed in the Coast and Valley Swimming Association’s 2018 Summer Long Course Championships.
Peninsula Leisure Centre hosted the event which ran from November 30 to December 2. Over 450 swimmers took to the pool to compete in the 142 events over the three day event. Swimmers from Newcastle and The Hunter dominated in the pool, with Novocastrian Swim Club’s Emily Jones the standout female competitor, setting seven individual records and taking out Female Swimmer of the Meet. Woy Woy Swim Club’s Cassandra Van Breugel placed second overall behind Jones in the female events. The Hunter Swim Club’s Charlie
Hawke took out the Male Swimmer of the Meet. Association publicity officer Ms Michele Burley-Jones said: “This meet qualified swimmers to enter the next levels of competition being either Country Regional Championships, Country Championships, State Age, State Open, National Age or National Open. The Management Committee thanked the technical officials who gave up their time to work the championships which “were run extremely efficiently with limited resources”, according to Ms Burley-Jones. “Without these people the children and parents would not have the pleasure of competing at this level of their sport.” SOURCE: Media release, 6 Dec 2018 Michele Burley-Jones, Coast and Valley Swimming Association

THE SHAME FILE
Central Coast Newspapers has a very liberal credit policy for advertisers and realises that from time to time, people, businesses and organisations get into financial difficulty and may need assistance and time to get things back on track. However, some people, businesses and organisations take advantage of this generosity they use advertising but simply don’t pay their account after several months and need to be taken to court to do so. From time to time, as necessary, we will name these people, businesses or organisations as a warning to our readers so that they will be wary when dealing with them.

Classifieds advertising rates in print and on-line Classified advertising is the cheapest form of newspaper advertising. This newspaper is published on line on the night before publication date, and is read that way by hundreds of people. All advertisements, including these classified advertising pages, appear in full on-line as an additional benefit for free. See www.CentralCoastNewspapers.com www.CentralCoastNews.net
or
Central Coast Newspapers’ advertising rates are relatively much lower than in other newspapers and at the same time much larger than in other newspapers, with the minimum size being 50mm X 42mm. Approximately 16,000 copies of each newspaper are printed and distributed every fortnight.
Personal and Not For Profit Organisations
As Central Coast Newspapers are community newspapers, the cost of advertising not for profit organisations’ events is subsidised. This makes them the same rate as non business advertisements. A mono 5cm advertisement only costs $33. Each additional cm costs $6.60 as does colour, and/or a photograph or a logo. Private advertisements need to be paid for at the time of booking.
Business rates
The minimum size of 5cm X a single column only costs $40 + GST in mono and an extra $8 + GST for colour, a logo or a photograph, every two weeks. Most businesses choose to advertise on an ongoing basis and discounts apply for multiple bookings, if they are paid for in full, in advance. Having an advertisement run for 3 months only costs $215 + GST, for 6 months it is $385 + GST, and for 12 months advertising, the total cost is only $700 + GST – Approximately $14 per week. Artwork is free and advertisers are encouraged to change their advertisements frequently

Woy Woy player named Star of 2019 NSW Rugby League has named Woy Woy Roosters player Bradman Best one of its 19 Stars of 2019.
At just 17, Best was named as one of the 19 up and coming stars of the sport with his coach, Mr Mark O’Meley claiming it was only a matter of time before Best debutted in the NRL. “I reckon he would of have played NRL by now if he was 18,” O’Meley said. “I think he’ll get a taste this year. ““He’s ready to go that kid. “It’s just his age and rules
and restrictions at the moment,” O’Meley said. Best is contracted to the Newcastle Knights until the end of 2021 and is so highly thought of that he has already been invited to train with the first grade squad. A centre with size and strength beyond his years, Best has already managed to post one Origin moment, scoring a memorable try to secure victory for the under-16s in the 2017 series.
