Waterfront plan a symptom of amalgamation disaster
The council amalgamation is an ongoing disaster, based on the objections to the council's best waterfront plan for Woy Woy, published in Peninsula News on June 27.
There are so many faults identified.
The only action by the council should be to tear up the plan and start again with a professional attitude, guided by local comment and knowledge.
I will not be holding my breath while council's senior officers wrestle with this planning failure.
Council's staff attendance at the Peninsula Leisure Centre has not convinced residents to accept the plan as presented.
There is a strong case for the council to hold a public meeting, where staff can explain the process to date and process after community consultation.
The plan lacks vision and will not meet demand beyond the short term, contradicting the council's spin.
This is revisiting the council's rushed sale of assets, with significant objection from the public.
Did the council review and amend its administration after this debacle or has it continued on with its maladministration to the detriment of residents?
A small project valued at $1.2M has failed to address fundamental issues.
Why is the administrator paid a very healthy salary to deliver unacceptable plans to the public?
