The news came after many years of active lobbying for the infrastructure in that area and indicates the effects of a generation of council staff and elected local representatives of various levels of government who have worked for this outcome.
There has been years and years of hard work by Lake Macquarie City Council; Lake Macquarie state MP Greg Piper; Hunter Water and local residents to achieve genuine outcomes in relation to reticulated sewerage.
I am grateful that the council, the state government and Hunter Water have been able to work together to achieve a solution and deliver essential services to a growing area of Lake Macquarie.
Where people attend school, play sport, shop, exercise and socialise is the council area to which they belong, that they identify with and call home, and for residents of Wyee, that has always been and always will be Lake Macquarie.
The council is also calling for nominations for the Lake Macquarie Sports Awards.
If you know a Lake Macquarie sportsperson who has excelled in their chosen sport during the past year, I encourage you to nominate them.
Selection criteria and nomination forms are available at lakesport.com.au. Nominations close on January 16.
