Raise Tester Hollow

The issue

To Prevent the community of Gillieston Heights being locked in due to flooding. April 2015 floods have resulted in no way out except via boats. Residents have no access to daily supplies of food or personal hygiene products Or hospitals. Raising Tester Hollow will prevent this if Fishery Creek was to flood Cessnock Road near Maitland Roundabout. As well as give an access to required services. This has been mentioned and asked for many times and for too many years there has been no action. With access cut to essential things its time something is done to raise the road over the swamp grounds.
