MEDIA RELEASE Central Coast Council’s Local Housing Strategy seeks to implement a number of strategies and actions to better manage housing supply across the region.

A Housing Forum organised by Central Coast Council on 27 April 2023, challenged all stakeholders involved in housing on the Central Coast to work together in genuine collaboration and consultation to try to solve the housing crisis facing this region.  Community members, developers, not-for-profit housing providers, government agencies, Members of Parliament and Council representatives all came together to discuss the current housing situation on the Central Coast, including Council’s draft Local Housing Strategy, which is open for consultation until 3 May 2023.Council Administrator Rik Hart said the Central Coast is currently home to some 348,000 residents. “It is projected that our population will increase to over 404,000 people by 2041 – that’s another 55,000 people, or 2,800 people every year. “To house these people, the government’s Central Coast Regional Plan 2041 anticipates we will require an additional 32,550 dwellings.”The Forum participants discussed a range of issues and potential solutions, but key themes and sticking points were:The Central Coast is vast and travel times are long, we need better infrastructure to support population growth.All three tiers of government – federal, state and local - need to work together. The type of housing that is currently being built is not reflecting the changing needs of the community, particularly for young and older people.
