Council meetings

About Council meetings

Ordinary meetings of Central Coast Council are generally held at 6.30pm on the fourth Tuesday evening of the month, in accordance with the Code of Meeting Practice adopted at the 9 December 2025 Ordinary Council Meeting.

Council may convene an Extraordinary Meeting outside these regular times, for which public notification will be provided on this website. An agenda (business papers) is made available before each Council meeting that details the items to be discussed. Agendas are released as soon as practicable but within three days of the meeting and are available online. Shortly after each meeting, the minutes are also published online.

Meetings are run in accordance with the Council's Code of Meeting Practice and Code of Conduct. Public Council meetings are also livestreamed so that you may access what is discussed without attending in person.

Council meetings are held at the following locations:

• Central Coast Chambers, 2 Hely Street, Wyong NSW 2259
• Gosford Regional Library, 123A Donnison Street, Gosford NSW 2250 (One meeting per calendar year as resolved by Council).

Attending Council meetings

Members of the public may register to attend Council meetings held at the Central Coast Council Chambers in person. Attendance numbers are limited and pre-registration may be completed via the online registration form.

Members of the public can also view the livestream of the meeting by visiting the Central Coast Council Live Stream on YouTube.

As per Section 5.36 of the Code of Meeting Practice, the audio of the livestream video from the 13 May 2025 Extraordinary Council Meeting was edited to remove a personal reference to a member of the public.

Speaking at Council meetings - Public Forum

Council will hold a Public Forum prior to each Ordinary Council Meeting (subject to speaker registrations). The Public Forum will commence at 6:00pm and run for 30 minutes. Members of the public who wish to address Council in the Public Forum must complete and submit the request to speak form, nominating the agenda item they wish to speak on and email the form to civicsupport@centralcoast.nsw.gov.au.

Registration closes at 12pm the day before the Public Forum. It is a requirement that speakers at the Public Forum submit their speeches in writing with the request to speak form for consideration of the Mayor prior to the Public Forum.

Speakers will be confirmed by Council staff and will receive information about participating in the Public Forum at the Council Chambers prior to the meeting. Public Forums will be publicly broadcast on Council’s livestream channel.
