what happen to Gwandalan and summerland point? don’t we deserve some money to be spent on us? our roads are falling apart, and full of potholes. these are fixed and then the filling falls out as soon as a car runs over them. Are we not more important than a stadium that most of us up will never use. Tell me is this what our rates are paying for, if that is the case, I’m thinking we should stop paying our Rates. not long ago you were saying that the council was broke and had to borrow money, and now you are spending it on a stadium. these councillors who voted for this money, are in for a big shock at the elections.

This may have been covered before? What about selling the Central Coast stadium. Its an expensive building and grounds to keep up the maintenance. The playing surface was recently replaced at great expense. Is it utilised to it greatest potential? Does it even cover costs? I believe the Mariners wanted to buy the stadium. So how about selling it. It is an asset that would realise urgently required funds. If we need to pay down debt this would supply a big chunk and save millions in repairs and maintenance.

This must only be a preliminary account of upgrades surely, what is happening in Wyong Shire, some people must be embarrassed to part Central Coast Council. Why did the Councils merge? Should never have happened thats for sure.

I thought the council was broke.
How about repaying all the money Gosford took from Wyong so we can get the works done which were promised to us before the amalgamation

What happened about the enquiry into the amalgamated council. Wyong Shire misses out. Wyong Shire had the funds, Gosford Shire was in debt. Gosford Shire complain about rate rises. They were paying less than Wyong. This can be seen in suggested rates rises for the 2 Shires.

Sorry but I thought amalgamation meant greater outcomes for all…no money north of Lisarow? We need to take some serious interest in our next council elections and make sure our elected officials are there for our local communities…otherwise we only have ourselves to blame.

What about old wyong council, nothing in this list at all, what is going on council

From what I read, generally there is no justification to why the funding is going towards areas that don’t need really need it. They are upgrades nothing more to areas where their rate payers are not wanting higher rates to pay for it.

I still see multiple botched and unfinished infrastructure projects and those that still are not being undertaken and it is to the detriment of the whole of the central coast. Why is this funding not put to better use.

The areas written about in this release I assume as usual is centred around the south not caring to write about the north, but if this is all the funding, then shame Central coast council you have failed again.

I can’t believe the there is no need for funding for the old Wyong shire geographical area. The people in those areas (old Wyong shire) still pay rates higher, and where the use of those extra funds should be centred around the north not south. The parity and equality stinks Mr Parsens you did do enough to prevent future miss pending. The north pay higher rates to a council that takes it and uses it away from where it was funded.

IF THIS IS THE WAY OF THE FUTURE FOR CENTRAL COAST COUNCIL THEN Local Representatives my question to you is….

HOW DOES THE OLD WYONG SHIRE LEAVE THIS COUNCIL?
Can we vote on that as a referendum piece rather than reducing council members?

If it were up for debate I know what the answer would be….

In reply to Jim. I agree that no amalgamation appears to have been made as no funds seem to be allocated for suburbs above Wyong. Why are these renovations to sport and entertainment venues a priority when the venues may be unused for quite some time yet. Help the people of the coast with wages or invest the money to compile money so you can afford to do those jobs when they become critical.

Obviously Wyong shire doesn’t exist? De-merge the council now!
