ABC  

Owners say damage to their Central Coast homes battered by strong swells was "totally avoidable" and comes after years of neglect by council. Key points: A low pressure system caused large swell to hit the coast An SES controller said it was the worst he'd seen in 30 years Locals self-evacuated as the slump came close to their homes Several beachfront homes at Wamberal are in danger of collapsing, after a powerful low pressure system caused severe beach erosion. Mr Rogers said he'd been told his front yard could "slip away at any moment" as a result of rain or another storm surge. "Unfortunately we've been trying to get this fixed for the past 30-35 years and it just hasn't happened," Mr Cahill said.
