Support Your Local Trades����������������������������������������������������� The Top End January 2019 LAKE MUNMORAH PROGRESS ASSOCIATION Central Coast Council has advised that a thorough investigation has been conducted of two potential sites along Colongra Bay Road for the new skate park and recreation facility. Due to the close proximity of residents and sensitive vegetation on both sites, Council searched for another suitable site within Lake Munmorah. The parcel of land at the corner of Tall Timbers Road and the Pacific Highway was selected in preference to the existing skate park site. This site has been selected for various reasons including close proximity to the Woolworths Shopping Centre, adequate distance from residential areas and good visual surveillance from the road. Council is undertaking a tender process for the design contract and early next year, members of the Community will be invited to be involved in the design process. Council has also advised that completion of the pathway from the BP Service Station on the western side of the highway to Woolworths will commence early in the New Year. $985,000 has been allocation for this stage and it will take approximately 16 weeks to complete. Members of the Association enjoyed a great Christmas dinner at the Lake Munmorah Bowling Club and many thanks to the friendly staff. There will be no meeting of the Association in January. Next meeting 12th February 2019 at the Senior Citizens Hall Acacia Ave at 7.00 p.m. Stuart Durie / Secretary.
