New jetty considered

 

Gosford Council's environmental heritage committee has considered an application for a new jetty adjacent to the former site of the Ferrymasters Cottage in Wagstaffe.

It would replace the existing structure which the owner recently said he did not want to keep and which he partly demolished.

The current application is virtually the same as a previous development application which council refused on heritage grounds.

The Committee advised council that this application should also be refused.

The committee report stated: "If a new private jetty is allowed by the Department of Land and Water Conservation in that location on Brisbane Water, any approval should be on condition that the new jetty be built on the northern side of the boatshed and in similar design and materials to the historic jetty."
