Central Coast Council is seeking community feedback on the draft Leisure and Aquatic Strategy 2025–2035, on public exhibition from Thursday 5 June to Thursday 3 July 2025.The draft strategy sets a clear 10-year framework to guide the future planning and delivery of key leisure and aquatic services and facilities across the region.

Central Coast Council is inviting the community to have their say on a new draft Water and Sewer Concessions and Rebate Policy, now on public exhibition until 23 July 2025.The proposed policy aims to replace three existing policies from the former Gosford and Wyong Councils, creating a single, streamlined approach to providing financial assistance for customers facing hardship due to home dialysis, concealed leaks, or sewer connection costs.The proposed policy includes:Water usage concessions for eligible residents undergoing home dialysis treatment.Assistance with sewer connection costs, including instalment options for eligible pensioners or those experiencing financial hardship.Partial rebates for high water bills caused by concealed leaks on private property.The community is encouraged to review the draft policy and provide feedback via Council’s Your Voice Our Coast website during the eight-week exhibition period.Feedback collected will help shape the final policy, which is scheduled to be presented to Council for adoption in August 2025.For more information and to have your say, search 'concessions and rebate policy' at yourvoiceourcoast.comENDS
