No Fees for Killalea.
The Killalea State Park Trust has recently floated plans for a $10 gate fee for entry to Killalea. This would make Killalea the only place in NSW where locals have to pay to use their beach.
I am a member of the Save Killalea Alliance. I was one of those who fought to protect this park from the Babcock and Brown development which would have alienated the community from many of the most iconic and accessible areas of the Park. I think Parks such as Killalea should be open to the all community. I oppose any gate fee
On the WIN TV news last night ALP candidate Marianne Saliba was quoted as saying she "agrees with the Trust's plans for a gate fee." Marianne and the ALP support this gate fee even though the Trust has produced no business plan to support its case. Even Lands Minister Hodgkinson said she would await a business plan before making any decisions on this matter.
