Report sought on surf carnival

 

Cr Terri Latella is calling for a report from the council's director of environmental planning Ms Louise Gee about the proposed surf carnival at Umina Beach.

She has given notice that, at Tuesday's council meeting, she will move that the director prepare a report for Council's consideration as a matter of urgency, "following the receipt of the amended surf carnival layout plan and supportive information" from NSW Surf Life Saving (NSWSLS).

Providing background to her motion, Cr Latella stated: "There have been numerous discussions with NSWSLS to support the conservation and preservation of dune vegetation by incorporating a plan of management for the Carnival to minimise harmful impacts on the environment."
