DELAYS FOR NEW POLICE STATION

Plans for a $10-million new police headquarters at Belmont have again been delayed, with Lake Macquarie Council expressing concerns over access to the building.

The Development Application is still awaiting approval, 18 months after the state government described it as shovel ready.

Police Minister Mike Gallacher said the work was urgent, with officers currently in a rundown and cramped building.

A spokesman for the Joint Regional Planning Panel, who has the final say, says they’re not likely to vote on the project until the end of the year.
