Central Coast Councillor Jared Wright has launched a survey for residents across the region, so they can share their concerns and have their say on local roads.
It comes as Council staff offered councillors the opportunity to provide feedback on local roads, with the view that it would be considered as part of the upcoming Budget and Capital Works Plan for 2025 and 2026.
Wright saw this as an opportunity to provide a voice to the community.
“When I talk to local residents, the number one concern I receive is undoubtedly the state of local roads, he said.
“With that in mind, I want to hear from our community about which roads they think are in most need of repair.
“We have around 2,300km of road network here on the Central Coast.
“Keeping them in top condition is not always easy and I am hoping that this process uncovers roads for improvement that may not already be prominent on Council’s radar.”
Wright said he would keep the community up to date on the progress of the survey via his Facebook page.
The survey allows respondents to indicate three local roads which they believe are in most need of repair and Wright says the information will be passed on to Council in full in early 2025.

A pressing issue, Jared, which I’m sure you are aware of is the dangerous intersection at Wards Hill Road and Empire Bay Drive. A roundabout is needed here before we have a fatal accident. It’s a very confusing intersection with multiple turn offs, a bike lane, access to the vet and access to the petrol station. The community has added over 1000 signatures to Gordon Reid’s petition, but still no solutions seem to be coming to light. We need your help. Many thanks.
I did write an extensive comment but it’s disappeared. Not much point it seems, Jared.
Thank you Jared / Bill. FYI : It was published and remains publsihed.
I am unable to find “Access the survey at forms.gle/bdHqDHRGPMfGNuPK9”.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
