COUNCIL COMMUNIQUE 

Dear Community Members

As you are aware the deadline for submissions to the Delegate reviewing the merger proposal for an expanded Pittwater Council incorporating suburbs of northern Warringah is upon us.

Council is urging Pittwater residents to write submissions to the Delegate by 28 February so that a breadth of views are being considered.

Council has collated points made by the community over the past couple of months should you wish to use this when devising your own submission.


Your voice should be heard so please take the time to provide a submission.

Kind regards

Part of Windsurfer Missing

Probably taken by mistake..

I collected the top half of a windsurfer from Jane and John Morgan and left the rest down on the grass, away from the road and the pickup stuff.

On Friday night, 5th February, someone removed the board and mast from their grass. They probably thought it was unwanted.

Could you either return the board and mast to their lawn or come and collect the rest of the windsurfer from my place at 111 Richard Rd.

This would be much appreciated by Harley.
