The delivery of critical infrastructure is a key priority for Team Central Coast in the lead-up to the September 14 local government election.
Candidates say they support a place-based approach to support the delivery of essential and enabling infrastructure, in partnership with all levels of government and industry.
Team leader Lawrie McKinna said the Central Coast had suffered due to poor and unco-ordinated planning that has resulted in significant infrastructure gaps.
“Developing and maintaining essential infrastructure is absolutely vital to support a strong and sustainable future for our community,” he said.
“In recent years, poor and unco-ordinated Council planning and slow approval processes have resulted in significant gaps in critical infrastructure on the Coast.
“The absence of strong Council leadership and minimal collaboration between government and industry has also stunted infrastructure growth.
“A co-ordinated and collaborative approach to delivering critical infrastructure such as transport corridors, tourist attractions and community assets is crucial for the development, advancement, and innovation of the Central Coast.”
Team Central Coast is also committed to developing a strong commercial investment climate on the Central Coast to encourage industry investment and relocation to the region.
“As well as working together with all levels of government and industry to enable the advancement of major infrastructure projects, Team Central Coast is dedicated to making the Coast an attractive destination for a wide range of business and industry investment,” McKinna said.
“We will do this by supporting advanced manufacturing networks to expand and innovate within their specific sub-sectors including food products, high-tech software and hardware, fabricated metal products and other specialised manufacturing industries.
“We will work to establish the Central Coast as a circular economy by prioritising the reduction of waste products and driving sustainable development, which will simultaneously benefit our local economy and our community.”
