Questions about pool

 

Gosford Council has received a petition, with three signatures from users of the existing Woy Woy pool.

The petition asked for answers to four questions:

How many ratepayer's dollars have been spent producing the Development Application (DA) for the new aquatic centre?

Why were aquatic complex users ignored during the formulation and lodging of the DA?

Why does Council wish to destroy the existing enclosed aquatic complex?

Why is Council refusing to enclose the existing 50 metre pool?

The petitioners stated that at a meeting on 16 January 2002, they were advised that, because of a shortfall in funding, there would be major changes to the approved DA.

The petition requested a meeting between representatives of Council, users of the existing aquatic complex and the schools who used the pools.

It requested a guarantee from Council that the existing complex would remain open until the replacement aquatic complex was ready for use.
