Empire Bay Wetlands - The people have spoken!

 Today the people of Empire Bay let it be known that they WILL protect their (our) wetlands! When I was contacted about this issue, I was quick to agree to come to a public meeting on site. Jane Smith also attended and together we were able to answer some questions for the community and also to pledge to support their cause.

It seems that the administrator could have (on advice provided to him from relevant council staff) rejected the proposal to change the zoning of the land in question... but he didn't.

On inspection of the site and some plans made available on the day, it is clear that this land should not be changed at this time.

Thank you to Jane Smith for her attendance and contribution.

This issue cannot be left to die

I am impressed to see former Mayor, Malcolm Brook OAM still actively pursuing a great result for the Arts Community and the general public regarding what SHOULD have been an iconic and defining landmark for the Central Coast. Thanks Malcolm!

What do you think of the plans as they appear here?

This site cannot simply be a boring, stagnating finance/government sector precinct. The people deserve better.
