Following months of advocacy by Federal Member for Robertson Gordon Reid and the community of Narara, Central Coast Council has confirmed that it plans to renew Deane St in Narara this September.
Council said it would undertake road renewal works subject to favourable weather and contractor availability.
The outcome has been a long time coming for the community of Narara and surrounding suburbs who have had to navigate Deane St and deteriorating road conditions.
“I welcome the update from Central Coast Council that it plans to renew Deane St this September,” Reid said.
“It should not have taken months of advocacy by my office and the community to secure what all ratepayers should expect as the bare minimum – that is safe and reliable local roads.
“I thank everyone in the community who has written to me and supported our petition to Central Coast Council to get this road renewed.
Narara resident Martin Gallagher said about 7,000 people lived in Narara and the surrounding areas, with the only two roads in and out being Deane St and Carrington St.
“This road renewal will be welcome news to all the motorists that use this road every day,” he said.
“Deane St is an important thoroughfare for the community and bus services.
“This renewal will improve safety and accessibility.”
