Council to hold extraordinary meeting

Council meeting format

An extraordinary meeting of Central Coast Council will be held on Tuesday, March 11, after the councillors failed to deal with all the agenda items at their February ordinary meeting.

Their previous meeting had been early in December 2024 with no meeting in January.

The councillors had a total of 33 items to vote on in February.

Four were dealt with en masse and another 20 were debated and voted on.

That left nine items to deal with including two that had been “laid on the table” which means the councillors had begun debate but had not reached a conclusion and had agreed to put them aside to deal with later.

These related to membership of the council committees they had agreed to create and reforms to meeting practices.

Council had already extended the meeting twice and it was 11pm when the councillors called it quits for the night, as directed by the code of meeting practice.

The meeting started at 6.30pm and almost an hour was spent debating the airport masterplan before it was adopted.

Another half an hour was spent discussing the council committees.

The March 11 meeting will deal with: a Status Update on Active Council Resolutions; community grants; a notice of motion about establishing a Catchment to Coast Advisory Committee and one for the long-running Mangrove Mountain Landfill issue and the rest of the councillors’ notices of motions.

The council will meet again later in March for its scheduled ordinary meeting on the fourth Tuesday of the month.
