HOUSEHOLD CLEANOUT

AT THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING

The Local Infrastructure Renewal Scheme (LIRS) has been instrumental in assisting council to carry out local infrastructure improvements. In rounds one and two of the scheme, council’s successful applications totalled $28 million. Because of this, council will ask the Minister for the Central Coast and local members to lobby for the continuation of LIRS.

The next Household Chemical Cleanout will be held on Sunday 31 August at Gosford Showground Carpark, Showground Road, Gosford between 9am and 3.30pm. The NSW EPA will also be filming across the day for promotional purposes - if you don’t wish to be involved, please advise the staff on the day.

For more, visit cleanout.com.au

AT THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING

A planning proposal to permit a resource recovery facility at Kerns Road, Kincumber, is currently on public exhibition. Due to the importance of the planning proposal and the number of residents who may need more time to submit their feedback, council has resolved to extend the public exhibition period for the planning proposal by 14 days from 20 August 2014.

AT THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING

The Pearl Beach Lagoon Coastal Zone Management Plan has been adopted.

The plan is based on sound scientific research and has been developed in partnership with the community and relevant stakeholders. The plan was supported by $30k grant from the Office of Environment and Heritage, which accounted for 50 per cent of the total project cost, and will now be presented to the NSW Minister for the Environment for certification.
