Residents were given an opportunity to hear from candidates in the Gosford by-election at a forum in Woy Woy on Sunday, April 2.
The Community Environment Network and the Central Coast Branch of the Australian Conservation Foundation co-hosted a candidates’ forum at the Everglades Country Club.
The town-hall-style meeting provided a platform for the community to engage with the candidates for the April 8 by-election.
The forum aimed to canvass environmental and community issues facing the seat of Gosford, including unchecked development, compromised drinking water and disappearing bushland.
Those present could put forward questions prior to the forum to be considered and put to the candidates on the day.
