Central Coast Council’s draft Community Strategic Plan, Delivery Program, Operational Plan and resourcing strategies are now on exhibition for community feedback until June 2.
Council says the plans respond to the community’s vision to “strengthen and support our community, protect our environment and create an inclusive, prosperous and accessible place to live, work and thrive, for today and for future generations”.
The draft Community Strategic Plan 2025-2035, This is Our Future, Our Central Coast, is a 10-year road map representing more than two years of consultation and engagement, and outlines community priorities under the themes of Our People, Our Environment, Our Place, Our Economy and Our Leadership.
The accompanying draft four-year Delivery Program, one-year Operational Plan and resourcing strategies have been developed to enable the delivery of the community vision.
The Long-Term Financial Plan considers the measures needed to ensure a sustainable financial future.
Key projects proposed in the draft plans include the completion of the Gosford Regional Library, construction of a new animal care facility and improving connectivity through building shared pathways.
Central Coast Mayor Lawrie McKinna said the draft plans were produced in consultation with councillors.
“The Community Strategic Plan describes our residents’ long-term vision for the future and demonstrates our collaborative approach to planning and resourcing,” McKinna said.
“Our draft plans reflect both the community’s and councillors’ priorities, ensure people have an active role in shaping their future, assign resources to services and activities and show how we’ll report progress.
“I encourage everyone to view the draft plans, understand what’s proposed for your area and have your say,”
McKinna said.
The draft plans are on public exhibition until June 2 and engagement sessions will be held at locations across the Central Coast throughout May, where council staff will be available to talk to community members.
Times and locations can be found on the Your Voice Our Coast Council website where people can also make an online submission.
Following consideration of all submissions, the updated plans will be referred to Council before adoption in June.
