Newsletter for Offshore Residents of Pittwater

Notices

Dear Church Point Boat Permit Holders,

Construction to revitalise Church Point is about to start, with the first stage (1A) scheduled to commence on Monday 15 August.

The work will take approximately 18 months (subject to the weather) and includes land reclamation, a new seawall with a suspended timber boardwalk and the McCarrs Creek Road realignment between the café/general store and Rostrevor Reserve.

The second stage of the works (1B) will involve the building of a new 120 space car park, service adjustments as well as pedestrian, property safety and access improvements.

Council has worked closely with the local community to deliver the $10 million upgrade with the residents’ representative Aesthetics Advisory Committee playing a crucial part in the final look and functionality of the space.

We are very conscious of the impact the construction may have on residents and wharf users and will do everything we can to minimise disruption during the construction period. We ask that during this time, where possible, you use the facility only when absolutely necessary and that the ferry may be a good option in some cases.

You will be kept updated on the work as it progresses.

If you would like further information, go to Council’s major projects page or contact me on 9970 1326.

Thank you for your patience during this time.

Regards
Grant Tighe

Update from AUSGRID

CAROL’S WHARF LIGHTING OUTAGE

The overhead conductor supplying the Carols Wharf lighting was damaged during one of the recent storms by a tree rubbing away the insulation.

The poles supplying the lights are currently being treated for termites.

I have attended the site and planned a solution to temporarily supply the lights until the termite treatment is complete on the poles.

Ausgrid staff are scheduled to carry out the repair of these lights on Monday 15/08/16.

Expect:

a mad-cap, pants-dropping, cross-dressing mayhem of a crazy two hours on the Island. Some boisterous language, lots of laughs, rudeness about some Islanders, - some would say a typical Bob Bolton effort.

Kindy looking for a Fridge!

Dear Community

The Island Bush Kindy would love to have it.
