Prospective candidates in the upcoming Central Coast Council election are encouraged to attend a pre-election information session to be held on Tuesday, July 16.
The fourth and final information session will be held in the Community Trust Hall, 27 Karalta Rd, Erina, from 6-8pm.
The sessions are run by Central Coast Council in partnership with the NSW Office of Local Government and are facilitated by experienced local government experts to provide information and insights to potential candidates.
They are for information gathering only and do not commit attendees to run for election.
At the session, potential candidates will learn about the region’s demographics, the community’s key interests and the integrated planning and reporting (IP&R) process.
They will also be given an overview of Council’s services to the community and key challenges.
“Focusing on Council’s operations, services and programs, our organisation’s leaders will explain Council’s priorities, Operational Plan, Delivery Program and other significant initiatives and local government matters,” a spokesperson said.
Two candidates have so far announced their intention to run in the September 14 election.
Kevin Brooks and Stephen Sizer will run on the Ratepayers’ Choice ticket.
