Demountable for health centre

Gosford Council has resolved to allow the Peninsula Women's Health Centre to submit a development application to erect a demountable building on the McMasters Rd site.

Council has also agreed to waive development application and construction certificate fees for the erection of the demountable building and record them as a donation on its accounts.

The centre has been successful in attracting funding through the Area Assistance Program to install a demountable building in order to expand services offered to the local community, according to a council report.

"The Peninsula Women's Health Centre is a service operating through the Central Coast

Community Women's Health Centre Ltd, out of a council-owned community cottage in McMasters Rd, Woy Woy," the report stated.

"The centre applied for funding through the Area Assistance Program to expand and improve services by providing improved space for group work, additional courses fitting into a holistic health mode for women, and the provision of child minding for women attending the centre."
