Resident forms action group

An Empire Bay resident fed up with the "sub-standard" condition of the area's infrastructure has formed a new community group for residents to have their say.

Mr Gregory Olsen said he formed the Empire Bay and Districts Roads Action Group to enable residents of Empire Bay, Bensville, South Kincumber and Daleys Point, who have had to put up with dangerous roads, non-existent foot and cycle pathways and poor storm water drainage for decades, to engage with political representatives from all levels of government.

The Action Group will hold a community meeting at the Empire Bay Progress Hall, August 9, at 7:30pm.

Mr Gordon urged all residents from these areas concerned about the state of their community's infrastructure to attend.

"All residents who are concerned about the state of the roads, paths and storm water drains in these areas and want their voice to be heard, should come along to the meeting.

"It is time to engage with representatives from Local, State and Federal Governments and alert them to the unacceptable state of these public assets and urgently negotiate appropriate remedies," Mr Olsen said.

According to Mr Olsen the meeting will focus on "Future directions" to help gauge residents thoughts and to format an action plan to present to Member for Terrigal, Mr Adam Crouch, at the Action Group's second meeting on August 16.
