Central Coast Council is calling on the community to dream big and share ideas to shape the future of The Entrance town centre.

Council’s Director Connected Communities, Julie Vaughan, said The Entrance town centre had the foundations to be a thriving and engaging destination all year round, not just during the holiday season.

“To help this vital town centre live up to its full potential, we are looking to the community to provide their input as we develop a Place Plan to create a revitalised and activated area for work, play and social connection,” Vaughan said.

This Place Plan will identify a series of future initiatives and projects that will improve the visitor experience and transform how the community interacts with this area while providing an ongoing boost to local business.

Mayor, Lisa Matthews, said the importance of effective Place Plans was now more important than ever for the local economy.

“Local businesses are still feeling the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and it’s important for recovery and ongoing resilience that this town centre is bustling with activity and draws the community and visitors to the area,” she said.

“I encourage the community, and especially the local business operators, to jump online and share their thoughts on what is and isn’t currently working and their vision for the future of The Entrance town centre.

“Together we can create an engaging, safe and welcoming space for everyone to enjoy and be proud of,” Mayor Matthews said.
