Late submissions accepted

Gosford Council will accept late submissions on the Gosford City Draft Local Environment Plan 2009 until this Wednesday, August 4.

Following an initial extension, the official date for the closure of the public exhibition and submission period was in early May.

"However, due to the high volume of submissions received, council has continued to receive and consider submissions after that date," said the council's general manager Mr Peter Wilson.

"In order to meet deadlines set by the NSW Department of Planning, council must now cease accepting any submissions."

Council's extended three-month public exhibition and consultation process included 12 community information sessions, three permanent display booths at council's customer service centres, information flyers mailed to every landowner in the Gosford LGA, staff consultations and a dedicated webpage featuring the ability to lodge submissions and enquiries via email.
