Shake the base

 

There are over 800 signatories on a petition and over 100 objections to the proposed medical centre development in West St, Umina, which will remove laneway access enjoyed by the public for over 25 years.

The people ask our councillors to ensure that this DA is exhibited in the correct fashion and according to DCP 128, and then council may consider their options.

I remind council of its duty to ensure misrepresentation are not contained in the DA and the effect it has had on the community's ability to understand the proposal.

The people are not all skilled town planners.

The EPAA is quite clear. It is there to serve the people with the assistance of council.

We, the people, need to remind our elected representatives, no matter their political party, that the power flows up from the people, which is why its called a power base.

Please come to the meeting at 6.30pm Tuesday, January 22, at Gosford Council and make your views known.

Shake the base.

Ed James, Umina
