Central Coast Council CEO David Farmer and Mayor Lawrie McKinna will meet with relevant State Government Ministers in State Parliament on Thursday, May 15, to discuss coastal erosion on the Central Coast. The meeting was mentioned at an extraordinary Council meeting held on Tuesday, May 13, and was central to the debate on how best to deal with the coastal erosion already threatening homes at Wamberal and The Entrance North beaches. A minority of councillors wanted to wait for the meeting before making any decisions.

The majority, however, wanted action organised to take effect if the meeting produced nothing. A long 12 point motion was adopted after about 75 minutes of debate, points of order, procedural motions and questions. In a nutshell it paves the way for emergency protection works to be undertaken under the Local Government Act. CEO David Farmer said it was a very complex issue, with many aspects still to be considered, even with the motion that was passed.
