The Entrance plan display extended

Residents have additional time to comment on the future of The Entrance.

Owing to public interest, a draft plan known as The Entrance Peninsula Planning Strategy will stay on exhibition until the end of February. See the document and lodge a comment by e-mail.

Wyong Shire Council agreed to extend the period after more than 120 people attended recent community consultation sessions at The Entrance.

The extended period will give business owners ample opportunity after the Christmas period to provide the council with written submissions.

Future Planning Manager, Deb McKenzie, said.the meetings were well attended by a combination of business owners, residents and community groups.

The meetings were held to publicly discuss Council’s proposals for Long Jetty, The Entrance and The Entrance North.

Wyong Mayor, Warren Welham, said the talks had provided an opportunity for stakeholders to familiarise themselves with the proposals and provide valuable feedback and input into the future preparation of the The Entrance Peninsular Planning Strategy.

And the nature of the feedback following the meetings was impressive.

“ There was a lot of feedback, people were forthcoming with their comments and suggestions and staff are grateful for everyone’s time and input,’’ Ms McKenzie said.

“ We are certainly encouraged with the informed nature of the feedback.’’

In accord with the extension of the exhibition, Council will seek to extend the shopfront exhibition at The Entrance’s Lakeside Plaza, The Entrance Road until the end of February.

The display is open between 9am and 4pm every Monday and Friday with Council staff on hand to answer questions on aspects of the strategy and listen to feedback.
