      <description>&lt;p&gt;A major component of the development of the Dogs in Open Spaces Strategy&amp;nbsp;has been&amp;nbsp;to gain community feedback on the broad issues associated with dog exercise areas within the Gosford Local Government Area. A variety of means have been&amp;nbsp;used to gather this information&amp;nbsp;including the staging of&amp;nbsp;community workshops held at Umina Surf Life Saving Club on 29 February 2012 and the Erina Centre on 1 March 2012.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Both workshops were well attended with a variety of opinions and ideas discussed. A summary of the discussions held at both workshops can be found within the library on the left hand side of this page.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Updates will continue to be provided on the progress of the development of the Dogs in Open Spaces Strategy as various milestones are reached.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Think about the location of future parking, signage and the current and future parking restrictions. Consider improvements to public transport, walking and cycling facilities.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Gosford City Council is presently undertaking two important planning studies for the Umina Beach Village Centre.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A &lt;strong&gt;Transport Management and Accessibility Plan&lt;/strong&gt; that will help us better manage traffic, parking, public transport and pedestrian and bicycle movements within the Umina Village Centre and surrounding area.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A &lt;strong&gt;Masterplan for the Civic Place&lt;/strong&gt; precinct that will look at opportunities for the creation of modern community facilities and a civic focal point for Umina.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Interested members of the community are encouraged to &lt;a href=&quot;http://haveyoursaygosford.com.au/uminatmapmasterplan&quot;&gt;have your say&lt;/a&gt; about traffic issues within the Umina Beach area and how the Civic Place project could best meet community needs now and into the future.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Community consultation for the development of the Dogs in Open Space Areas Strategy finished&amp;nbsp;on 14 March 2012. Council would like to take this opportunity to&amp;nbsp;thank&amp;nbsp;all community members that provided feedback and attended workshops&amp;nbsp;on this matter. Collation and consideration of feedback from the surveys, workshops and online forums is now underway.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once completed, a&amp;nbsp;draft document will be placed on exhibition for public comment. At this time the local community will once again be able to provide feedback on the proposed strategy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is anticipated that public exhibition will occur around May/June 2012. The exhibition&amp;nbsp;of the document, including timeframes for submissions,&amp;nbsp;will be advertised in the Central Coast Express Advocate in the Public Notices section of the paper.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;During the public exhibition period the draft document will be available electronically within the library section of this page, Council's website &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gosford.nsw.gov.au&quot;&gt;www.gosford.nsw.gov.au&lt;/a&gt; and at Council's Customer Service Centres.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This consultation has concluded. You are still able to view all comments and activity.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In 2003 Gosford City Council adopted the &lt;em&gt;Dog Exercise Areas Policy&lt;/em&gt; in response to community demand for a formalised approach to the provision of dog off leash areas within the Gosford Local Government Area.&amp;nbsp;As this Policy&amp;nbsp;is now due for review, Council would like&amp;nbsp;to hear from residents and visitors&amp;nbsp;to ensure&amp;nbsp;a broad community perspective is considered during the development of the Dogs in Open Spaces Strategy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Go to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://haveyoursaygosford.com.au/dogsinopenspaces&quot;&gt;Dogs in Open Spaces Online consultation&lt;/a&gt; and have your say Gosford!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This consultation has concluded. You are still able to view all comments and activity.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A large proportion of open space areas are under the management of Gosford City Council including natural reserves, mountains, bushlands, beaches, wetlands, foreshores, estuaries, active recreation areas (including a number of sports grounds, skate parks and associated facilities) and passive recreation areas (including parks and playgrounds).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To ensure the long term sustainability of these areas and facilities, Council is currently in the process of developing a strategic plan that will provide direction for the provision and management of open space areas, recreation facilities and leisure programs to accommodate current and future community needs. &lt;a href=&quot;http://haveyoursaygosford.com.au/openspaceandleisuresp&quot;&gt;Have your say and help develop the strategy in our online discussion forum&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
