WORK BEGINS ON NEW ETTALONG ROUNDABOUT

Work has begun to upgrade the busy Maitland Bay Drive and Picnic Parade intersection at Ettalong.

The $7-million project will include a new roundabout, concrete medians and shared pathways.

“It was a promise that came out of the Gosford by-election. We’re glad to see the work is now going to start and particularly at this intersection which is notoriously dangerous.” – MATTHEW WALES – PENINSULA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

“The time frame obviously we’re looking around 12 months weather dependent.” – ADAM CROUCH -CENTRAL COAST PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY

Meanwhile, the state and federal governments announced a $2.7-million package today, which would see an additional nine local roads upgraded.
