Member for The Entrance, David Mehan, is asking Council to halt further “maintenance” of vegetation along Wyong Road.
It has resulted in the complete removal of all vegetation.
Mehan has likened the maintenance to vandalism and an eye-sore.
Council is conducting “vegetation maintenance works” at night on Wyong Road from May 1 to June 3.
“Works include the pruning, hedging, weeding, spraying, mulching and rubbish removal on centre medians and roundabouts along Wyong Road,” Council said.
Mehan said Council have simply slashed and removed all vegetation from the median in work undertaken so far.
He said similar works by Council on Wyong Road near the Mingara Club last year resulted in landscaped vegetation replaced by weed.
“Wyong Road was a feature of our region with its landscaped median, which was well maintained by the former Wyong Shire Council,” Mehan said.
“It’s a huge disappointment for my community, which is being asked to pay higher rates for a reduced service level under the amalgamated Council.
“If Council can’t do the job properly it should not do it at all and stop wasting our money on vandalising our region.”
Mehan said he had written to Council to request the clearing stops, and he had notified IPART of the waste of ratepayer money.
