I note your pictorial vision and most of your final draft masterplan depicts how Gosford and the waterfront may look like in 20-30 years. However, currently the Gosford Memorial Pool is actually part of the waterfront as you are aware but is not considered in visuals. I note your fine print comments on page 69 in relation to considering options for the pool in your final draft masterplan. I object to any closure or relocation of this facility. The Gosford Memeorial Pool services the health and recreational needs of the community and should be part of your revitalised waterfront,just as North Sydney Pool built in 1936 is still servicing the community on Sydney Harbour. I beleive the community could only think the pool is planned to be moved or closed with visuals showing it gone and only a sentence back on page 69 stating options will be considered in the future.
I ask Why is the community continually left not knowing what the future holds for this facility especially as this facility already attracts thousands to the waterfront?

There is nothing in the plan I like. The city will be over developed with no extra road capacity or car pqarking.
The whole of the the School site in Mann Street should become a multi deck car park, with developmwnt on the top level, either commercial or restaurant, etc.
The maqrinas should be located near the railway line with an access road built.
Gosford pool should be removed out of the city and a beach developed. It would look much better and be more useful.o

I went to the “revamped” Kibble Park with a disabled young man two weeks ago. It was sprinkling- no-where for him to sit at a table under shelter to eat lunch, no-where I could access a disabled toilet. If this is a foretaste of the community facilities which we present to everyone, we deserve what we get; so-called experts who fulfill community needs?
