Ettalong faces 40k speed limit

Gosford Council will recommend the RTA impose a 40 km/h speed zone in the Ettalong Beach CBD.

A report from council's Local Traffic Committee stated that the plan for a proposed 40 km/h precinct within the Ettalong Beach CBD was displayed for public exhibition from September 9 to 17.

"Two responses in total were received and both responses were in favour of the speed reduction however both also recommended that the area of consideration be expanded to include other streets," the report stated.

"The first response suggested the inclusion of additional sections of road such as Picnic Pde, Pacific Ave, Memorial Ave and Fassifern St.

"The second response wished to include the whole of Ferry Rd, up to the public facilities in Schnapper Rd and midway through Bream Rd."

The committee recommended that the plan as publicly exhibited be recommended to the RTA for funding and approval.
