Woy Woy Peninsula Residents Association (PRA) will host a candidate forum for prospective Gosford West Ward councillors on Thursday, August 22.
“All Peninsula residents, owners and renters should attend to hear from candidates for the upcoming Council election,” Association Vice-President Julian Bowker said.
“All candidates are invited to register their interest.”
Bowker said there would be a short speech from each candidate followed by a question-and-answer session.
Attendance is free and all are welcome, but the association is encouraging registration to ensure seats are reserved.
“Don’t miss this opportunity to be informed and empowered,” Bowker said.
“Join us at the candidate forum and be informed about the candidates’ platforms and learn what they can do for you and your community.”
The forum will begin at 7pm on Thursday, August 22, at the Everglades Country Club, Woy Woy.
Register online through at www.peninsularesidents.org.au/ or the Peninsula Residents Association Facebook page.

The transparency of the Central Coast Council financial affairs needs to be first priority for each new councilor. It appears our Administrator and the current ‘management’ has not been happy to have their operational books examined since they won’t provide costings. How is this acceptable and surely this is illegal. Central Coast News Reported in one article that the Administration had a Greening and heat island reduction program for a new development. The paper, in another article revealed that the council was only funding the management of street trees for the entire council area at $45,000. These announcements for environmentally responsible developments by the Central Coast Council seem to be a distraction for their negligence in protecting the existing street and shade trees. In the community it is obvious the council is actively promoting the removal of cooling street trees. I hope for better with a new Council, but lip service has become normalised in our society especially from those who say they represent the population.
