The exhibition of Central Coast Council’s draft climate change policy has been delayed until February.

The policy has been expected to be on exhibition for public comment for several months, based on previous information from Central Coast Council. Central Coast Council mayor Cr Jane Smith said the number of items currently on exhibition had resulted in “overload for the community and staff”. She said she and Council staff had determined that February would be “a much better time to place the policy on exhibition”.
