Association wants path restored
Pearl Beach Progress Association president Mr David Denton has called for the restoration of pedestrian access around the point of Mt Ettalong.
"We would like to see pedestrian access restored around the mountain, which is used regularly for many reasons," he said.
"We at the Pearl Beach Progress Association have been concerned for some time about the deteriorating condition of the old road/pathway around the point of Mt Ettalong.
"With only a single road into and out of Pearl Beach, in the event of a bushfire which needed an evacuation of our senior citizens it is the only viable alternative to exit the people.
"The most recent problem concerned the falling of a large rock which shattered the sewer pipe and a delay in fixing the break due to possible additional falling rocks.
"This has now been done and council is still undertaking some further works to alleviate further problems in the vicinity.
"However, council has stated that due to the type of rock face they are extremely concerned about making it an identified passageway."
