Central Coast Council has launched its Smart Water Meter Program, helping businesses monitor, conserve, and manage their water use more efficiently as part of Council’s Central Coast Water Security Plan. 100 of Council’s large, non-residential water customers have received a digital upgrade to their water meter and access to the MyWater digital customer dashboard—an online self-service tool providing water consumption data.The program will be evaluated following a three-year trial period with potential for further expansion of the program to more customers.Learn more, search ‘MyWater smart water meters’ at centralcoast.nsw.gov.au

Construction is now complete on a brand-new, modern amenities building at Buff Point Oval, delivering significantly improved facilities and accessibility for the community.Works began in early September 2024 and were completed in March 2025, ahead of the winter sports season.Proudly funded by the NSW Government and delivered by Central Coast Council, the project provides functional, accessible spaces that support local sport and community connection.Designed in consultation with local sporting groups, the new building reflects how the community uses the oval – whether it’s for training, game day or simply coming together to enjoy local sport.The $1.58 million upgrade replaced a 44-year-old amenities building with a new facility featuring:two change rooms with individually partitioned showersunisex and accessible toiletsa canteen and canteen storea referee rooma club roomtwo storage areasimproved walkways.The project also included $379,771 in subsoil drainage and irrigation works to improve field safety, playability and recovery after wet weather. Because the new building adjoins the existing off-leash dog park, the usable space for the dog area has slightly reduced.
