A NSW Rural Fire Service base is being planned for construction at Mooney Mooney.
If approved by Central Coast Council the emergency services fire station will be located on vacant land at 1 Peats Ferry Rd, Pacific Hwy, which is considered a suitable site due to its strategic location for quick and efficient response times in an emergency.
There is direct access to Peats Ferry Rd, a bitumen sealed service road accessible from the Pacific Hwy, and access to a local boat ramp, jetty and rest area on the western side of the highway.
The main fire station will include garages with two vehicle bays for fire trucks and office space for management operations, training rooms and support facilities such as amenities, change rooms, a clean room, breathing apparatus room and other secure storage areas.
The fire station will operate on a 24/7 call-when-needed basis and as it is a fully volunteer station it will be typically unmanned.
The station has 43 volunteer members and usually five volunteers respond to an emergency call.
They attend training every two weeks for two hours.
Security for the new fire station will include a surrounding 1.8m fence, a 2.1m chain-link fence at the rear, an electric entry gate with swipe card access and external CCTV camera surveillance.
The development application 1417/2024 is on public exhibition until November 22 at www.centralcoast.nsw.gov.au
