The Peninsula Residents’ Association has organised an open community meeting on August 25 to discuss the planning of Woy Woy’s town centre.
The association formed in 2021 to provide a collective residents’ voice on matters concerning the liveability and wellbeing of the Woy Woy Peninsula community.
Association Secretary, Julian Bowker, said the association has identified that effective long term civic planning is essential to the future health and wellbeing of the community and that the community’s voice must be included in the planning process.
“We are concerned that, without a strong collective voice, we may end up living in a place that does not put the interests of the community first,” Bowker said.
“It is important that the planning process incorporates the wishes of the community.
“We would like to see a plan for Woy Woy that starts with the CBD and connects to a broader plan for the area, rather than ineffective planning controls or individual projects happening haphazardly.”
Bowker invited Peninsula residents to join the Residents Association and share their thoughts on “”make sure our community’s voice is included in the planning process (and put) liveability and wellbeing at the forefront of future planning.”
Issues likely to be discussed include amenity, liveability, traffic flow, transport and integrating the CBD into surrounding components.
The open community meeting meeting will be held at Everglades Country Club, Woy Woy, at 7pm on August 25.
