I refer to your letter dated 26 April 2012 outlining safety concerns at the intersection of Brisbane Water Drive and Talinga Avenue at Point Clare and your request to have the northbound kerbside through lane converted to a left turn only lane.
Recently a road safety audit was undertaken of Talinga Avenue to gauge any safety risks at this intersection. The audit raised no issue with the existing combined through and left turn lane at Talinga Avenue.

11-11-2012: Submission from KPCTPA re Water Rates Proposal: |
H. Orchard
Secretary
Koolewong and Point Clare-Tascott Progress Association Inc.
Date of submission: Sunday, 11 November 2012
Submission:
The above Progress Association objects to the proposed raising of Water Rates bills by Gosford City Council from 2013. A fair increase should be the CPI.
Poor management by Gosford City Council seems to have been shown in the Councils inability to manage upgrade of infrastructure since the building of the Mangrove Dam in the late 80's.
Ratepayers of the shire have curbed their water usage as asked by Gosford City Council, so surely this should be reflected by less maintenance cost going into the future. Budgets should be laid by Council to ensure expenditure is appropriately maintained in each calendar year.
Email from Gosford City Council re Funding for Couche Park foreshore stabilisation |

From: Warren Brown Sent: ?? Hi Gary, Sorry for the late reply, I have been on leave. Please be advised that there is currently no funding allocated to Couche Park seawall in the 2012/13 budget. I have been discussing this with the asset manager and have suggested that we apply for funding through the Estuary Management Program, please note that this will require Council to commit to 50% of the cost of the wall so I will also have to make a bid for funding through Councils internal budgets. I will keep you posted on my progress, ultimately the final decision to proceed with this project rests with the asset manager, Kim Radford (Coordinator for Parks, Playgrounds and Foreshores). Regards, Warren Brown, Coastal & Estuary Officer | Open Space & Leisure Services, Gosford City Council |

Dear Mr Brown, Thank you for your email of 7th September. We are now into November 2011 and it seems that no further work has been carried out on the foreshore of Couche Park. The coir logs that your refer to are no longer in existence |
