COUNCILLORS have decided to forge ahead with the first step towards leasing out a kiosk at Newcastle Ocean Baths while trying to reassure the public the project is not a foregone conclusion.
After some argy-bargy about whether to push the decision back again, a move Labor councillor Declan Clausen called an attempt to "gag discussion", Newcastle councillors decided to ask the minister for local government for permission to grant a lease at the baths.
