MEMBER for The Entrance, David Mehan, has welcomed the completion of drainage and resurfacing works along Waratah Street, Bateau Bay marking a significant win for the local community.
Mr Mehan previously called on Central Coast Council to keep its promise to Bateau Bay residents and fix Waratah Street after reneging on its undertaking to rebuild the street in 2023/24. This followed on from a community led petition championed by local resident, Ms Fay Semple.
Council’s commitment to the community has now been fulfilled and the safety concerns initially raised affecting local students, families and residents have now disappeared.
Member for The Entrance David Mehan said: “Waratah Street was not just a street in a bad condition, it was a real safety concern for families and young children attending Bateau Bay Public School.
“The local community had a strong voice throughout this process, and I am glad this has finally been achieve."
