CHAMBER CONGRATULATES REID ON BIG ELECTION WIN

The Chamber has today congratulated Federal Member for Roberston Dr Gordon Reid on his resounding win in the Seat of Robertson following Saturdays Federal Election.

“The Chamber congratulates Dr Gordon Reid on his win and securing his second term as Federal Member”, said Peninsula Chamber President Matthew Wales.

“Dr Reid has been an excellent Federal Member and a strong supporter of the local business community and we are pleased that he can now continue his work in our local community”.

“It is extremely important that the business community has close working relationships with both State and Federal Members and that they understand our needs and concerns”, said Matthew Wales.

“We are especially appreciative of Dr Reids commitment to the $32M upgrading of the Ocean Beach Road/Rawson Road intersection which has been a major traffic bottle-neck for many years”.

“We have been assured that the funding is in place for the intersection upgrade and that works will proceed this year under the auspice of Central Coast Council”, said Matthew Wales.

“In addition, the 1.8M commitment to the renourishment of the Ettalong Beach foreshore east of The Box Restaurant is another important sign that Dr Reid has been listening to our concerns over the state of the beachfront”.

“The renourishment works will dove-tail with the State Government’s commitment to the dredging of the Ettalong Beach channel later this year and the pumping of sand onto Ettalong Beach”, said Matthew Wales.

“The Chamber also supports further road funding promises for the upgrade of the intersection of Empire Bay Drive and Wards Hill Road to the tune of $15M over two years”.

“We will continue to work closely with the Federal Member for Roberston over the next three years to ensure that the Peninsula business community receives as much support as possible from the Federal Government”, said Matthew Wales.
