As we edge closer to the end of 2023, we also approach the halfway mark of the current financial year.

Reflecting on our progress for the first six months of 2023-2024, I’m pleased to report that Central Coast Council is on schedule in its budgeted capital works program, with a high commencement rate for total projects scheduled for the current financial year.  

The delivery of our capital works program builds new and renews essential assets for the community. This is a core function of local government and asset delivery makes up the large part of the services that local councils provide to communities.

Council’s stable financial position and the run of good weather over the last few months has helped us complete existing projects, get new ones underway and stay on top of our schedule for this financial year – all while managing these assets valued at $8.3 billion! 

Some current major projects include the new Gosford Regional Library, the Mardi Water Treatment Plant major upgrade and the Hue Hue Road pavement upgrade.
