    ABC Four Corners
    The Central Coast Council is aware that the NSW EPA is investigating issues related to the use of the Spencer site. The Council will not interfere with any investigations. The former Gosford City Council had previously taken the owner of the Mangrove Mountain site to the Land and Environment Court regarding alleged breaches, which was resolved. The future use of the Mangrove Mountain site must comply with relevant laws, and the Council will process any applications. Environmental testing shows the nearby waterways are not affected by risks from the landfill. The Council will not comment on the former employment of an individual by Gosford City Council.

    Media Statement

    Central Coast Council is aware the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) is
    investigating issues arising from the use of the site at Spencer. Council is also
    investigating other aspects of the use of the site. Council will not interfere with the
    EPAs investigation or any other investigations by making public comment.

    The former Gosford City Council commenced proceedings regarding the Mangrove
    Mountain site in the Land and Environment Court regarding alleged breaches of
    the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979. The Land and Environment
    Court proceedings were resolved by the Court making orders, which are a matter of
    public record.

    The future use of the Mangrove Mountain site, and the time frame for such use, is a
    matter for the owner of the site. Any use will need to comply with relevant laws, and
    Council will, where it is the relevant authority under the Environmental Planning and
    Assessment Act for that future use, deal with applications it receives from the site
    owner. Once that future use is the subject of a relevant consent under the
    Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, the owner may seek the issue of an
    environment protection licence under the Protection of the Environment Operations
    Act from the NSW EPA.

    The EPAs website contains a register of the licenses it has issued, including those
    that relate to the Mangrove Mountain site.

    Council is aware of environmental testing undertaken in and around the Mangrove


    Mountain site, and based on that testing considers that risks associated with the
    landfill are being managed so as to ensure the nearby waterways are not affected.

    It is not appropriate for Council to comment on the employment of, or the


    circumstances of termination, by the former Gosford City Council of Mr Chestnut.

    Council confirms that neither Mr Chestnut, nor any former staff of the former
    Gosford Council or of this Council that may have been interviewed by Four Corners
    are spokespersons for Central Coast Council.
