Welcome to the Central Coast Sun

THE McMahons Point wharf is expected to be closed for about five months as it undergoes a major upgrade under the State Government’s Transport Access Program. Commuters can catch the 265 (McMahons Point to Lane Cove via North Sydney) or 269 (McMahons Point to Milsons Point via North Sydney Station) bus services and connect to bus or train services to the City. To connect to a City ferry service, weekday off peak customers can catch the 269 bus service to Milsons Point. During the evening and on Sundays a temporary shuttle bus will operate between McMahons Point Wharf and Milsons Point Station and Wharf, for connections to train and ferry services. Commuters who usually catch a ferry to McMahons Point Wharf can catch a ferry to Milsons Point Wharf and walk or catch a 227, 228, 229 or 230 bus service to North Sydney. Customers can also catch a ferry to Circular Quay and connect to train services to North Sydney Station.

THE Department of Planning (DOP) is currently assessing Submissions put forward on the proposed $115 million redevelopment of Taronga Park Zoo. The project includes a 62-room hotel and eco-tourist facility to be known as the “Australia Habitat and Taronga Wildlife Retreat”. Mosman Council opposed the Masterplan during a recent vote by Councillors but the DOP is the consent authority as the project is deemed a “State Significant Site”.
