Long Jetty business owners have been left in limbo by NSW Transport's Draft Central Coast Regional Transport Strategy.

"As a business owner we need certainty. We are not going to develop our properties until we know what is going on. If things were sped up a little maybe Long Jetty would look better than it does. So until we know what is going on we are not going to sink money into developments that may be resumed."

This was the response of one Long Jetty business owner to the RTA's presentation to TEPCP on 16th November, 2010 on their progress with a strategic design for the Central Coast Highway through Long Jetty and The Entrance. All the Central Coast Manager was able to say was these proposals were " Food For Thought"

Developers in Long jetty are now between a rock and a hard place. The last thing Developers want to see is a widening scheme implemented through Long Jetty that would sterilise half the properties because neither Council or the RTA has the funds to resume the land. Council's Entrance Peninsula Planning Scheme left the majority of the zoning unchanged along The Entrance Road and now there is RTA option that will widen the Highway. Funding is needed to reconstruct the Highway through Long Jetty, not on the sole criteria of traffic volumes but on the basis of the need for urban renewal.
