As a Wamberal resident I was disappointed to hear that Liberal and Liberal-aligned Team Central Coast councillors recently approved the majority of the Council CEO’s $95,000 slush fund for 2025 to be spent on the Wamberal Protection Association (WPA) residents’ group and other beachfront property owners by approving a Section 124 action for Wamberal beach works.
This was agreed to by this conservative voting block on the Council, despite legal advice provided to the councillors and paid for by Central Coast ratepayers.
As a result of this action these councillors have now exposed all ratepayers to any legal risk and damages into the future that will be caused by WPA beachfront landowner actions.
I strongly object to our rates being diverted to benefit some of the wealthiest people on the Central Coast with these funds now not being available for more deserving causes such as the homeless or community emergencies.
Although, l was glad to see the back of the LNP appointed Council Administrator, with the hope of seeing councillors elected who would be working to benefit all ratepayers, it is evident by the actions of the eight Liberal and Team Central Coast councillors that they act instead to serve the interests of a wealthy few.
